Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 5.3 mi away • Cleveland Heights, OH


Family dynamics can be one of the biggest challenges we face, and one of the most difficult things in our lives to manage. Relationships are hard, both with partners and with children. Do you find that your children sometimes feel like more of a burden than a joy? Are you finding your child's behaviors challenging or unmanageable? Maybe something is going on with your child that is more than "just a phase." Is parenting with your partner often stressful? Do you feel like you're not being heard and your relationship is unsatisfying? If you find that you are overwhelmed or consistently frustrated, maybe you need some support.

I have 15 years of clinical experience working with parents, children and families. I work with families to identify priorities and focus on the goals that will make everyone’s lives more enjoyable and fulfilling. I use Family Systems Therapy and Child-Parent Psychotherapy to support building positive connections between couples, parents and children.

I can help you by offering parenting support and strategies that will help make positive and lasting changes for you and your family. If you’re concerned about your relationship with your partner or your child’s behaviors, call for a free consultation. There are great opportunities for growth and change, and things CAN get better!

Find the right couples therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your relationship — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Cleveland

Finding couples therapists in Cleveland starts with understanding what you and your partner want to work on together. Couples therapy, couples counseling, relationship counseling, and marriage counseling can support concerns like communication patterns, recurring conflict, trust after infidelity, major life changes, and parenting disagreements. Not all therapists have specific training in couples work, so look for licensed marriage and family therapists or therapists who list approaches like the Gottman Method or emotionally focused therapy in their bios.

Cleveland offers a range of local options for couples therapy, from in-person offices near downtown and surrounding neighborhoods to virtual sessions that may fit more easily into two schedules. Since both partners need the same appointment time, it helps to filter by availability, session format, and whether the therapist is accepting new clients. Some therapists also offer a brief consultation, which can help you understand how they structure couples sessions before you book.

Couples therapy in Cleveland can be expensive without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket cost. Headway helps you find therapists who offer couples counseling in Cleveland, review detailed bios, check estimated costs before booking, and choose someone who matches your needs, accepts your plan, and is ready to take new clients.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
