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.)

I understand the exhaustion and hopelessness. The gut-punching anxiety that hits out of the blue. I know what it is like to feel lost and trapped at the same time. I decided to become a therapist after a successful academic career as a philosophy professor. I made the career change after facing and overcoming my own mental health challenges with the help of a therapist. The experience was so liberating that I wanted to share it with others.

Is your child becoming more depressed, anxious or defiant, spending way too much time on devices? Are you experiencing more anxiety, depression, or confusion about where you are at this point in your life and where to go from here? Are you a creative person? As individuals, we can struggle to strike a balance between our careers, our hobbies and interests, and our relationships with our partners and children. You may feel life is getting more difficult. I have extensive experience working with children, teenagers and with artistic people to follow their passions, stay realistic and not let a mental health disorder hinder them.

Experiencing the weight of intense emotions like depression or anxiety is common. There might be a perceived insurmountable distance between yourself and your loved ones. Dissatisfaction with relationships involving parents, children, or significant others is not uncommon. It can sometimes feel like nobody truly comprehends what you're going through. Whether dealing with family or relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, trauma, or other life stressors, therapy can be a pivotal step toward healing.

In our initial meeting, I try to understand whether I can be helpful, and if my skills fit your issues. I generally work towards appreciating the complicated nature of problems and the suffering that results. I may push you to develop some different ways of looking at--and solving-- your problems. As I get older I find that I'm more understanding and less quick to make judgments. I try to be what I value in a therapist--someone who has a good sense of the sorrows, joys and absurdities of life, and who still has a sense of hope.

I see adults and couples, providing both short-term and long-term psychotherapy, in order to increase personal insight and decrease unwanted symptoms.

Do you find it difficult to deal with life transitions and change? Life has its unique challenges as we navigate through the different stages. Sometimes, we need support through these stages while dealing with the ongoing changes in our personal universe. Although change is difficult to handle at times, I feel that change promotes personal growth, perseverance, and inner strength. When dealt with appropriately, change can be a healthy part of life.
