I am an established psychologist, working in the Lakewood area with individuals, couples, and families for a number of years. I am interested in how we experience and grow from life events, such as marriage, divorce, death of a loved one, moving, and/or pursuing a new career. In the past, I have been Director of Mental Health for the City of Cleveland's McCafferty Health Center.
I have been working for many years as a couples therapist dealing with marriage, divorce, and other relationship issues. I have studied Gestalt Therapy extensively, and recently have been exploring a treatment modality called the couples developmental model.
I have also studied Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Hypnosis. I consider myself a perpetual student, and have also been interested in another therapy modality called the "Narrative," the stories we have that hold our reality in place. I look forward to working with you.
