**Currently Accepting New Clients** You are feeling anxious and generally overwhelmed by life. On the outside you “have it all together” and are excelling, but on the inside you are struggling with standards of perfectionism that keep you from ever being happy. You are constantly questioning yourself and your ability to make decisions and handle life’s stressors. You are exhausted and sick of “the noise” that is your thoughts. You want to be be able to ENJOY your life without being consumed with anxiety and overthinking. You’re ready for a change, and I can help!

Hello! I'm happy you're reading my profile since there are many profiles on this website. You might ask, "How am I different from other therapists?" Well, for starters, I am a man (I can't believe how many female therapists there are on Cleveland's west side!). My chief strength is helping adults, adolescents, and children who are struggling with depression and anxiety. I have been told by my clients they feel comfortable talking with me. Some of them have described me as calm and serene (My friends would laugh at this. Outside of therapy, I can be intense and anything but serene.)

Looking for a therapist to fulfill your needs is not an easy task when you are ready to face some difficult issues. Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed or needing direction with personal or professional relationships? I will help to teach you the necessary tools to healthier relationships, greater mental well-being, becoming more efficient at home and work and finally have a more positive outlook on the future. These tools are priceless and when used can demonstrate almost immediate results.

It's my goal to help you find happiness again. I want to help you navigate and improve the difficulties and challenges you might be facing in your personal life and in your relationships. I work with a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues to help people achieve their personal goals such as balance, peace of mind and happiness. My approach, as an integrative, heart centered therapist, draws from a diverse range of traditional and non-traditional tools and techniques. This allows us to tailor a specialized plan that meets your individual needs to work toward achieving results.

I am a licensed professional clinical counselor with supervisory designation. I have over 12 years of professional mental health experience & have worked in a variety of settings, including: youth residential treatment facilities, IOPs, community based agencies, school settings & private practice. My specialties include the diagnosis & treatment of anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, trauma related disorders, personality disorders, adjustment disorders & grief. I offer diagnostic assessments and empirically based treatment for children, adolescents, and adults.

My clients' past trauma gets in the way of the life they want in so many ways. They aren’t the kind of person they want to be. They feel like they’re failing as a partner, friend, sister, daughter. And their confidence at work is tanking. Before they came to see me, they felt guilty for not being happy and wanting more intimate relationships. They worried about blaming their past and others for the current issues with intimate relationships. And they were pretty certain it would be too overwhelming to share with a stranger what happened to them and what has been going on.

I am an eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapist with a passion for helping indivudyuals navigate hardship and/or trauma.

Outdoor, walk and talk sessions available also!

I believe that counseling is a way towards growth and healing.

One of the hardest struggles in life can be trying to learn how to navigate the world when something is lost. Facing the reality that we as humans have to grieve losses can be excruciating – whether the loss be of a loved one, relationship, or simply your sense of belonging in this world. Life-altering changes are inevitable parts of the human condition, but this doesn't make them any less painful. Realizing the impermanence of all things can be difficult to bear. You may find yourself in denial – trying your hardest to avoid and shut things out; becoming distant and disconnected. How does one find meaning when the meaning is gone?
