Currently, I am conducting sessions by secure video conference.
Welcome! I am happy to share with you information about my practice. We will collaborate and partner with each other to explore what is happening in the present that has you considering therapy. Often that brings up past life experiences and stories. I am interested in the story as it relates to where you are now. More importantly, I am curious and want to get to know you, the storyteller.
Our work together will aim to increase self-awareness, build support, strengthen relationships, learn and practice skills, and make meaningful changes. Therapy can be transformational when there is a balance of acceptance, compassion, empathy, and support with challenge, motivation and willingness to leave one's comfort zone. I learned the best thing you can give someone is care, and that the process supports the outcome.
Since 1997, I have worked on multi-disciplinary teams in schools, community mental health and social service agencies, an intensive treatment center with multiple levels of care, and now in private practice.
My treatment interests include:
-Couple and Family Therapy
-Individual Therapy
-Parent Guidance
-Emerging adulthood
-Anxiety
-Depression
-Body Image
-Mindfulness
I also offer:
- Ongoing Personal Growth Group at The Gestalt Institute of Cleveland since 2001
