I have been in clinical practice for 20 years and I specialize in treating individuals, couples, and families that are stuck in painful, old patterns and crave increased emotional, spiritual, and physical health. I am a Humanistic therapist and I approach therapy as a collaborative process in which I help you improve coping skills and gain insight about your own experience. You are the expert of your own life, and together we can cultivate new ground, and explore your personal themes in a safe, confidential environment.

I am passionate about collaborating with others who feel misunderstood, and those who have had to contend with adverse life experiences. It is an honor and a privilege to work alongside you in your journey.

My passion is helping adults become more connected to their values and develop an overall sense of wellbeing, while also learning to deal with a variety of life stressors or mental health concerns. I strongly believe in a holistic and individualized approach to care that is based in research as well as your unique circumstances. Treatment is not one size fits all and I find that it is important to work closely together to identify what is important to each person entering into therapy. My clients deal with a variety of concerns relating to anxiety, mood difficulties, low self-esteem, or general adjustment issues.

Is your relationship with food or your body making it seem as if you are out of control? Maybe you’re caught in a spiral of worry that you can’t seem to stop. You might also feel frustrated and exhausted by the constant thoughts about eating the “right thing” and getting enough time in at the gym. You might even wish that life could be easier and you could enjoy events without trying on 5 different outfits before heading out the door or worrying about what food would be served. Perhaps you have been hit with feelings of guilt, anxiety, and depression.

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. You may be looking to build on your coping skills or enhance your way of thinking about life. Or, maybe you just want someone to talk to about your everyday obstacles. 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.

After having spent several years working in community mental health and residential treatment, I have worked with a wide range of issues. I'm comfortable with helping individuals, couples, and families who have felt like others have not been willing to help them. My ideal client(s) would be the person, family, or couple who thinks, "My problems would be too much for someone else," or someone who has felt mental health professionals let them down in the past. I'd like to work with you because I think we can find a way to make life better.

Seeking out therapy can be a challenging, but vital first step in reducing anxieties related to past or present challenges. Finding the right therapist is just as important as the healing work itself. I have over 10-years of experience working with individuals dealing with grief, loss, childhood trauma, depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress-disorder. I also specialize in working with families and individuals who have been affected by foster care and/or adoption.

OCD and anxiety take a small possibility and make it feel like a certain probability. Intrusive thoughts go against our moral beliefs causing distress and make us lose trust in ourselves. I promise that no matter what may be on your mind, you are not alone! Safety behaviors can become routine and we don’t always think of them as compulsions, such seeking for reassurance. OCD will never be satisfied by any particular answer and comfort found from compulsions only provides fleeting relief. Here’s the thing: you have the power to challenge your OCD and anxiety head on through treatment.

My clients' past trauma gets in the way of the life they want in so many ways. They aren’t the kind of person they want to be. They feel like they’re failing as a partner, friend, sister, daughter. And their confidence at work is tanking. Before they came to see me, they felt guilty for not being happy and wanting more intimate relationships. They worried about blaming their past and others for the current issues with intimate relationships. And they were pretty certain it would be too overwhelming to share with a stranger what happened to them and what has been going on.

You deserve wellness and healing. It is time to become the person you are meant to be, rather than person you've become based on the way life has treated you. Since 2009 I have worked in the mental health field and provided therapeutic services to individuals, couples, groups, and families. I am invested in empowering others to overcome hardship, foster perseverance, and build resilience. I have made a positive impact on the people I have served. I have assisted children, adolescents, adults, and older adults in learning and practicing the skills necessary for mental health and wellness.

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.)
