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.

I was trained to treat children, adolescents, and families, but I've always treated individual adults and couples, too.
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.)

A space where unconditional empathy, compassion, collaboration, and positive regard help lay the foundation of a prosperous therapeutic relationship.
How often do you compromise who you are because you accept the truths of others as your own? How long have you been biting your tongue and prioritizing everyone else before yourself? When is the last time you felt grounded and authentic in your in skin? Are the boundaries you have in place respected? Do the people you share interpersonal relationships with reciprocate the same effort and energy that you give? Do you feel heard? Do you feel understood? Where does your faith reside? In yourself? In society? In something bigger than yourself? Is the quality of your life what you deserve or what you have settled for?

Couples Counseling Therapists
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
