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.)

My role as your therapist is to provide a safe and comfortable environment, while exploring your presenting concerns and symptoms. I strive to be genuine, authentic and humble while exploring your concerns. I am dually licensed as a chemical dependency counselor (LICDC) and as a Professional Clinical Counselor (PCC). Areas of expertise include: depression, anxiety, perinatal mood disorders, postpartum depression, relationship issues, parenting stress, existential life stress, and substance abuse/addiction. I work with teenagers, adults, and LGBTQ populations.

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.

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.

Helping teens find their own strength is my passion. I am excited about empowering them and others to make healthy changes in their own lives. Right now, we’re seeing many teens struggle with anxiety and depression, in addition to the regular stresses of life. I help them process their trauma and build a great life while working through their depression and anxiety.

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?
