Couples Counseling Therapists in Lakewood, OH

When human beings experience life’s ups and downs, moving forward, cultivating gratitude, or finding a positive outlook can be daunting. One thing we often experience is loneliness, but we do not have to truly be alone. I believe that the therapeutic relationship can tap into the parts of our lives that we have neglected and through talk therapy, we can gain self-awareness, increase sense of self-efficacy, develop self-care, and improve resiliency for overall well-being. My areas of interest include working with life adjustment & transitions, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and trauma.
