I help women like you whose past is holding them back.
You’re always on the go, have trouble saying “no,” and get involved in a million projects at once. And when people ask if you’re overwhelmed, you smile and tell them you function better that way. But it’s not true. On the inside, you’re totally burned out and struggling to hold on. The day-to-day grind of being overbooked, people-pleasing, and feeling like you’re always going to drop the ball has taken a toll
on you. You’re doing your best to stay in control because it makes you feel safe and shows the world (and yourself) that you’re good enough. But it’s a futile project, and keeping it alive is leaving you exhausted to the core.

It goes without saying that relationships are tough. You just didn't think it would get this tough. Things have changed since the kids came along. You thought once they got older and things would settled down, you'd get back to the two of you but that hasn't happened. And the conflict has gotten worse. You can't even remember what the conflict was about to begin with but it's never, ever resolved. And the disconnection you feel as a result of the conflict is increasingly painful. Or you are so tired of the same conflict pattern again and again, you've stopped caring all together.

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.

My specialties include trauma, anxiety, women’s issues, adjustment struggles, grief and loss, premarital and marital counseling, family members effected by addiction, spiritual formation, and church related issues.
My specialty is trauma. I love to journey with people to help them learn how to live free and full lives. Life is filled with many anxieties, trials, traumas, and obstacles which can create patterns that hinder us from thriving. When we experience trauma, our brain and body create adaptive or maladaptive patterns to cope with trauma. My goal is to partner with my clients to identify the problems, create effective goals, and increase healthy cognitive, emotional, and behavioral skills in order to decrease symptoms and develop healthy coping tools. I provide Christian counseling to those seeking support from a faith based perspective.

Female Therapists
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
