Therapists in Cleveland Heights, OH

I work with adolescents (14+ y/o) and adults who are seeking individual, family, and couples therapy. Many of the adolescents and adults I work with experience general and social anxiety, grief, depression, PTSD, and may engage in self-harming behaviors or have suicidal ideation. I provide parent/ caregiver coaching to parents who want to improve the quality of their relationship with their children and learn skills of effective conflict management and limit setting. The couples I work with want to learn skills to improve their communication, manage conflict effectively, and rebuild trust and intimacy within their relationship.

As a Marriage & Family therapist, I'm attuned to clients’ interconnected webs of relationships even when working 1-on-1. My experience & training with families & couples enables me to walk with clients through (re)discovering their connectedness to those they love. I’m most passionate about exploring clients’ stories & listening for places where personal narratives might differ from others’. This often provides spaces for clients to explore new or neglected understandings of themselves & their relationships leading to preferred, more fulfilling future stories. I enjoy working with clients across cultural, sexual& gender identities.

I believe in a holistic approach with an emphasis on getting to know each individual for who they as a person. I work to build a complete picture of each person's emotional, mental, and physical health and behaviors to better gain more understanding. My goal is to work together in creating more self-awareness as well as personal growth to facilitate positive changes in your life and overcome the obstacles you may be facing. I enjoy working with adolescents through adult in both individual, couples, and family work. As a mom myself, I am passionate about working with perinatal/postpartum mood disorders and women's issues.

I hold that you inherently deserve unconditional love and acceptance - and that healing must include the internal relationship to Self, in order to welcome a profound connectedness to others. I see trauma not as something wrong with you, but something right - a deep wisdom rising up that must be heard. In collaboration we will design the path that best serves your healing, whether through tools of immediate relief (like parasympathetic release / polyvagal theory) or in long arcs of subtle process toward deeper healing (like Somatic Internal Family Systems and EMDR).

The people I am best suited to help are those who are struggling with relationship concerns, hyperactive minds, past abuse and trauma, and those who feel disconnected from a sense of meaning and purpose in their lives. I want to help those who wish to cultivate a more stable intention towards wellness, more quiet in their minds, and a deeper connection with others.

You are the expert of your lived experience. My role is to offer a compassionate ear so you can share your story, express big emotions, and enter the process of self-discovery. The therapy process is an active one; involving experiential learning, unearthing curiosity, and co-creating a reliable therapeutic relationship. I welcome minds stuck in a loop, hearts that keep feelings tucked inside, and chronically ill bodies that can’t catch a break. My areas of focus are experiences of anxiety, complex traumas, invisible illness, and a general sense of powerlessness. I also coordinate care with psychiatric and other medical providers.

My role is to walk beside my clients as they find their own solutions. I bring a background from journalism, theater, film, event production, dj, and comedy writing to my practice. Clients can expect to be heard and encouraged with genuine empathy and faith in improving life experiences. The modalities I use most are positive psychology , cognitive behavioral, client centered, gestalt, Parent Child Interactive, and trauma informed. I am grateful for every client I am privileged to meet.

Yes, I would welcome your call … but am I right for you? I am a mother/grandmother and a two-time cancer survivor. I believe the relationship with ourself will determine our quality of relationship with others. We have intrinsic, untapped power to change thoughts and behaviors that rob us of the joy, peace and acceptance we so very much desire. I am a LCSW with more than 15 years of experience helping others with life transitions; health concerns, career challenges, marriage, divorce, childhood trauma, PTSD, anxiety & depression. If we are a good fit, I’d love to be your coach, educator, and counselor.

I specialize in Borderline personality disorder, PTSD/Trauma, and co-occurring challenges. My scope of practice includes LGBTQ+ concerns, couples (nonmonogamy), and mood disorders. A desire to change is often forged in hardships that are overwhelming, painful, and cause suffering. It can be a difficult path to navigate alone. A therapeutic relationship based on trust, open communication, respect, and empathy is fundamental to overcoming struggles. Whether it is during a transition, an acute stressor, or severe mental illness, I provide a supportive, safe, and non-judgmental environment for youth, adults, families, and couples.
