Female Therapists in Westlake, OH
The people who come to see me for help get my compassion, understanding and good judgment. Often, what is required is someone to talk with, who will pay attention and listen objectively, and then communicate that understanding in a way that is helpful. I like to give my clients practical ideas that can help enhance the conduct of their lives. I also think that by talking things out with an experienced professional, my clients gain the courage to take control of their lives and make the (sometimes difficult) choices they know they need to make.

Life can be challenging! Whether you are an adult, teen, parent, or a couple seeking counseling I can offer a safe space to process and develop short and long-term goals. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Solution Focused therapy, and breathing techniques I would be honored for the opportunity to team up with you in your life and circumstances. I am a retired US Navy Hospital Corpsman. During my twenty years of active-duty service, I received training not only in the medical field but also in mental health.

I am a firm believer that everyone needs a village to support them in order to be the best version of themselves they can be! I view myself as a part of that village - supporting, encouraging, and sometimes pushing my clients to reach the goals they are striving for. Teamwork, guidance, empathy, and humor are foundational pillars of my practice. My clients are teens and adults (12+) who know something isn’t working, and maybe just need that extra support to clear the gunk out of their way.

We experience pressures that leave us feeling unbalanced and stressed out in our lives. As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC-S) we can work together to bring the balance back into your life. Experiencing Trauma, Anxiety, Depression, Stress, Grief or just feeling those overwhelming feelings of exhaustion disrupts our balance.

I specialize in working with those who struggle with or love someone who struggles with understanding/regulating their feelings and anyone who has ever been confused about why they acted the way they did in that moment. Thoughts, feelings, and actions are complicated concepts and understanding why we do what we do in certain situations can be confusing. Working toward better understanding these concepts and learning tools to slow down our response times is invaluable to reducing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and feelings of being out of control.

Is your relationship with food or your body making it seem as if you are out of control? Maybe you’re caught in a spiral of worry that you can’t seem to stop.

You might even wish that life could be easier and you could enjoy events without trying on 5 different outfits before heading out the door or worrying about what food would be served. Perhaps you have been hit with feelings of guilt, anxiety, and depression.
