I have worked in the mental health field since 1992, beginning in Boston, MA moving to Augusta, GA and finally settling in Cleveland, OH. My early work was trauma based with children and adolescents. My practice has since grown to include families and couples. I now see clients from the age of 10, adolescents, adults, families and couples. Emotional distress, from slight unease to life disrupting behaviors, can be linked to unprocessed emotional responses to stressors. I use an integrated approach to discover and process the triggering emotions, leading healthier thought processes and a more authentic expression of self.

I have experience working with individuals from diverse backgrounds who are healing from depression, complex PTSD, anxiety, life-adjustment issues, grief and interpersonal difficulties, Although I work with all issues, some specialties are relationship issues, narcissistic and relational abuse, and trauma. I have specialized training and several years experience working with addiction in treatment centers and helping families of addicts.

My priority is to create a safe place for clients to feel heard and fully be themselves. I use a collaborative and strength-based approach to help clients learn new coping skills, heal from past traumas and develop healthy habits to gain a new perspective of self and life.I enjoy seeing clients have “ah ha” moments, learning how to cope with depression and anxiety and creating healthy boundaries that allow them to feel peace in their life.

Individuals thrive toward their potential when their relationships are healthy and supportive. Being in healthy relationship is how we, as individuals and families, are sustained in the long term. Relationships that are healthy are consistent, have structure, are interdependent, and provide instruction that fosters individual and collective resiliency and progress. When relationships are in crisis, individuals must be guided toward identifying the behaviors and attitudes that bring on conflict. When this awareness is achieved, change is possible. Here, attention to individual and relationship needs is equally important in the therapeutic process.

We all struggle with life issues! None of us are meant to do this thing called LIFE alone. I want to help you find that 'missing piece,' that was left behind through trauma, family issues, personal decisions, and mental health or drug issues.

My idea of therapy involves being empathetic, validating, and allowing you to express concerns in a calm, nurturing, and welcoming environment. My desire is to create a safe space and build a trusting therapeutic alliance in working towards accomplishing your goals. I aim to help an individual identify their goals and values and build their motivation internally and externally. I specialize in working with individual clients 18 years and older, couples who are experiencing interpersonal conflict, & marital counseling. Issues that I work with include depression, trauma, anxiety, relationship conflict, adjustment issues.

Everyone has experienced emotional distress at some point in his or her life. A good indicator of when it's time to seek professional help, is when stress becomes overwhelming and unmanageable. Recognizing that you need help is the first step toward restoring a healthy life balance.

Do you feel emotionally defeated? Are you a family member, or is your marriage in crisis? I offer older teens, adults, and couples effective strategies that give hope. I believe a Therapist must provide a safe, non-judgmental environment where a client feels free to engage in the treatment process that leads to emotional healing, restoration, and life transformation. I am committed to providing that environment so that you can enter into that process, and together we can discuss those challenges as we work on mutually agreed-upon solutions.

Therapy is not a quick fix, if done correctly, you will feel more, learn more, grow more, and work harder than you have ever done to achieve the best version of yourself you have ever been. My ideal client is dedicated, and consistent with themselves and their motivation to change. In exchange, I can promise that I will always match your effort, I will challenge you to challenge yourself, and will hold you accountable to be the catalyst of change in your own life

I firmly believe that anyone can benefit from counseling. Throughout a person’s life there are many ups and downs that may lead a person to feelings of stress, anxiety, or other negative emotions. I believe therapy can be a safe space to better understand those feelings you have and grow into being the best version of yourself.

I currently focus my practice in helping individuals (children/adolescent and adults) and couples to overcome anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, relationship struggles, life/family changes, and parenting issues. The goal is for each person to use self-compassion and personal connection in learning how to identify strengths and resilience to face the challenges of life.
