Therapists in Beachwood, OH

I offer psychotherapy and psychological testing for teenagers and adults. Adults seek help for ADHD, anxiety or mood disorders. I help them find meaning, purpose, and joy as they function more fully at home and work. Also, I work with teenagers who underachieve and present behavior challenges, mood disorders and various types of anxiety. When working with teens, I also work closely with parents to help them learn how to encourage their kid's growth toward autonomy and self-direction. It is a joy to encounter parents and teenagers as they learn to cooperate, rather than to struggle against each other.

A therapeutic relationship based on safety and trust is essential in affecting change. I'm a Licensed Independent Social Worker with twenty five years of experience practicing psychotherapy with adolescents and adults. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, OCD, grief and loss, and help to address life challenges, transitions, feelings of isolation and fear about the future. Additionally, I work with parents to assist and guide in the ever-challenging work of raising a teenager.

Are you experiencing abuse, addictions, anxiety, depression, bereavement/grief/loss, low self-esteem, hopelessness, identity crisis, unexpected career changes, teen-pregnancy or trauma? Then allow me to come along beside you to help you transition into your "new normal" and to help coach and encourage you into a new way of thinking and living! I offer an eclectic, client-centered, holistic approach while addressing the "symptoms/behaviors" and never criticizing the person as a unique human being. You will be provided therapeutic counseling services in a safe "non-judgmental free-zone," supportive and confidential environment.

I specialize in evidenced-based treatments for children, adolescents, and families. My approach to treatment is heavily skill-based, goal oriented, and highly collaborative. I view the parents/guardians as experts in their child, and feel that together, we form a unified team. My practice includes: Anxiety, Adjustment Disorders, Depression, OCD, Parent-Child Conflict/Skill Development, Phobias, and Self-Esteem Enhancement. I also specialize in working with the siblings of children with special needs, including developmental disabilities and special healthcare needs, to address family dynamics and coping skills development.

I have one of the few jobs where my goal is to get fired. My ideal outcome is to help you to help yourself so that you don't need me anymore. Do you feel "stuck" in a relationship? Do you feel as if you have the same arguments over and over again with no resolution? Do you feel like there are too many obstacles standing in the way of achieving a relationship you had hoped for? My job is to help you get "unstuck" and change problematic patterns of interaction so that you can enjoy meaningful relationships in the future.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, and anger? Are you unhappy in your relationships? Discover what patterns of thinking and behaving are keeping you in this rut. Explore what fears, anger and emotional injuries are keeping you from being your best self. Together, we can address the symptoms that are manifesting so that you feel better. You CAN change the way you feel. I connect and build rapport with clients who have not had much success in therapy prior and focus on building a trusting, therapeutic relationship. Call me to see if I am the right therapist for you!

There is a difference between temporarily feeling better and actually getting better. This statement serves as the foundation of my work with clients and families. In my experience, collaborative and compassion-focused care combined with research-supported interventions leads to lasting positive outcomes in therapy. I am a clinical psychologist with extensive training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, and I received my Master’s degree from John Carroll University in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in May of 2022. I received my undergraduate degree in Psychology, with a minor in Theatre, at the Ohio State University. My focus is on psychotherapy with children, adolescents, and their families with an emphasis on depression, general anxiety, social anxiety, suicidality, and ADHD. I use an eclectic approach, incorporating CBT, DBT, and expressive therapies, including art/drama.

I assist adults, couples, families, and adolescents ages 14 and up having difficulties managing their lives due to emotional/mood disturbances, adjustment issues, and life transitions. My areas of experience include severe mental illness, self-harming behaviors, depression, anxiety, personality disorders, women’s issues, relationship and communication issues, substance abuse, anger, self-esteem, grief and loss issues, couples counseling, parent child relationship counseling, parenting, adjustment issues, family counseling, and adolescent concerns.

When is it time to seek counseling? Well, for each person it is different. This is because everyone has their own breaking point - a point where stress or trauma becomes so overwhelming that it becomes harder to engage in normal everyday activities. If your stress is interfering with your sleep, parenting, or work then it is probably a good time to get assistance to work through the issues. I offer a safe and confidential environment to address these issues and find practical solutions in order for you to gain emotional relief.

I am a Professional Clinical Counselor who reaches out to assist individuals and families who are in need.

Welcome! As a clinical counselor, my focus is on helping clients improve their quality of life, whatever that may look like, through genuine connection in a supportive and non-judgmental environment. I help clients feel empowered and prepared for whatever challenges they face through use of their strengths and the skills we learn together in our sessions. I believe everyone can live a fulfilling life as long as they have the support and resources to do so.

I enjoy working with the adolescent, teen, young adult, and adult populations. I have a passion for helping individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, self esteem, trauma, and abuse/domestic violence. It’s important to me that my clients feel heard, as well as gain an understanding of how unresolved, past events can manifest into the present.

I work with adults and teens, building skills and laying down new pathways for dealing with relationship struggles, inner conflict, loss, developmental crises, and identity concerns. I consult with parents of children of all ages, guiding them in helping their kids live less painful, more fulfilling lives. I help people who grapple with anger, sadness, anxiety, and feelings of emptiness or despair. I help my patients learn to be mindful and nonjudgmental in their awareness of thoughts, feelings, and the many motivations that lead to sometimes difficult behaviors. I also offer an emotional skills workshop for parents.

My ideal client may or may not have an idea where his or her distress is coming from but IS motivated to make changes to alleviate that distress. Together, we will develop strategies tailored to you to help you cope with current and/or past stressors so that you may lead a more peaceful, content life. My goal with all my clients is to help them feel like the best version of themselves.
