I specialize in working with those who struggle with or love someone who struggles with understanding/regulating their feelings and anyone who has ever been confused about why they acted the way they did in that moment. Thoughts, feelings, and actions are complicated concepts and understanding why we do what we do in certain situations can be confusing. Working toward better understanding these concepts and learning tools to slow down our response times is invaluable to reducing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and feelings of being out of control.

Hello! I'm happy you're reading my profile since there are many profiles on this website. You might ask, "How am I different from other therapists?" Well, for starters, I am a man (I can't believe how many female therapists there are on Cleveland's west side!). My chief strength is helping adults, adolescents, and children who are struggling with depression and anxiety. I have been told by my clients they feel comfortable talking with me. Some of them have described me as calm and serene (My friends would laugh at this. Outside of therapy, I can be intense and anything but serene.)

We experience pressures that leave us feeling unbalanced and stressed out in our lives. As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC-S) we can work together to bring the balance back into your life. Experiencing Trauma, Anxiety, Depression, Stress, Grief or just feeling those overwhelming feelings of exhaustion disrupts our balance. I built this practice to be able to offer a non-judgmental empathetic safe counseling environment where we can work towards your mental health goals together.

Are you struggling in life? Feeling anxious, depressed, and disconnected from yourself or others? If so, you’re in the right place. Everybody has a story, and understanding each persons story and how they came to be is an integral part of helping and serving others. My goal as your therapist is to help you heal from any trauma, anxiousness, or depressive symptoms that interfere with daily life. This is done by learning better coping skills, creating new thought patterns, and identifying and changing behaviors that no longer serve your highest purpose in life, thus allowing you to feel centered and fulfilled in all areas of life.

Childhood and young adulthood can be a time of incredible change and growth. Alongside these changes, many children and teens experience anxiety, depression, stressors and even trauma that can impact their well-being as well as your family unit. When you or your child are struggling to cope, it can feel overwhelming to take the first step and reach out for help. As a licensed social worker, I have worked with families and children, young adults, and adults. I can help you or your loved ones go from a place of frustration and sadness to healing and growth.

It takes strength to acknowledge when something is wrong. Through looking for a counselor, you have displayed this. I can imagine by now you might be feeling overwhelmed or distressed by what's recently occurred or what's built up over time.

For whatever life brings you, I am here to offer you support and guidance. Some of my clinical areas of focus include, but are not limited to: depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, and trauma-related disorders.

One of the hardest struggles in life can be trying to learn how to navigate the world when something is lost. Facing the reality that we as humans have to grieve losses can be excruciating – whether the loss be of a loved one, relationship, or simply your sense of belonging in this world. Life-altering changes are inevitable parts of the human condition, but this doesn't make them any less painful. Realizing the impermanence of all things can be difficult to bear. You may find yourself in denial – trying your hardest to avoid and shut things out; becoming distant and disconnected. How does one find meaning when the meaning is gone?

Much of the work I do involves the use of evidence-based approaches including EMDR, but I am eclectic and utilize a variety of therapies based on the patient's needs. In addition to helping patients who are struggling with anxiety, panic symptoms, depression, grief and loss, PTSD and sexual abuse issues, I have a strong chemical dependency background. I recognize the decision to seek help can be a difficult one, and that choosing the right therapist can sometimes be even harder. If you are ready to take that next step, I encourage you to give me a call.
