Emotionally Focused Therapists in Willoughby, OH

Sometimes we all need a safe space to share our stories with a caring and unbiased listener, and I want to provide that for you. I have been in the mental health field for over 20 years and licensed as a Professional Counselor since 2004. With experience working with many different types of people experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, panic, mental and physical illnesses, relationship issues and so on, I am passionate about helping college students, couples, internationals, jobseekers and adults of any age who are seeking emotional healing, mental health, support and direction for their life's struggles and spiritual questions.

I've had the sincere pleasure of being a therapist for 35 years. Having worked in a variety of settings has prepared me to be able to provide compassionate guidance to people wrestling with mood disorders (anxiety, depression and bi-polar) as well as to those experiencing struggles in their relationships (marital and family). For the past ten years in private practice, I have continued to assist others using a variety of therapeutic approaches: psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, relaxation and coping skills, grief therapy and assertiveness training.

My clients come to me because they are looking for ways to use their strengths to overcome the challenges that life has thrown at them, whether in their individual lives or in their relationships. I help them to deal with depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, addictions, life transitions, and relationship issues of all kinds. I help children, adolescents and adults across the life span to become their best selves and to live the life that they have been designed to have.

You want to live without anxiety and are ready to find yourself again.

This is a Boutique Couples Psychotherapy Practice-all new clients "will need a referral". Most couples start off feeling "in-love", feeling they have found "the one", and they are ready to open their heart to this perfect partner. Closeness develops and they begin to feel safe. Then as life would have it, they discover their partner has flaws. They see their partner differently and this influences the way this couple communicates and connects to each other.

Now accepting new clients! No longer a wait list. I believe therapy should be tailored to each client because everyone has different needs. It's exciting to get to know each client and how I can be of help to them. I enjoy working with clients of all ages, and have a special interest in women's issues, young adults and couples. I have experience treating a variety of issues, including anxiety, depression, OCD, postpartum depression, and relationship issues. I am committed to upholding the highest ethical and legal standards, as well as participating in professional development to keep up-to-date with the best practices in the field of mental health counseling.
