I earned both my Bachelor of Science in Social Work and Master of Social Work from The Ohio State University. My background includes experience in university disability services as well as several years working closely with children and families in foster and adoptive care. Since transitioning into outpatient therapy, I’ve focused on providing thoughtful, accessible mental health care that meets clients where they are.
I work with children and adolescents (ages 11+), adults, couples, and families navigating concerns such as ADHD, behavioral challenges, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship or family stress. My experience in foster and adoptive care gives me a strong foundation in attachment, identity, and family systems, allowing me to support both individuals and families in meaningful ways.
I am a seasoned therapist of 30 years, and I learn something new with each individual I connect with. My goal is to address the issues of life we all face with grace, compassion and a little humor. I might not know all the answers... but together we will develop strategies to make a better life.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Cleveland
Searching for family therapists in Cleveland starts with finding someone trained to support the relationships within a family, not just one person. Family therapy can help with parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, communication breakdowns across generations, and major life changes. As you compare Cleveland therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties match what your family wants to address. Provider bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like family systems therapy, structural family therapy, or other relational methods.
In a mid-sized city like Cleveland, you may find a range of in-person offices across nearby neighborhoods and suburbs, along with virtual appointments that expand your options. For family therapy in Cleveland, it helps to ask how sessions are structured. Some sessions may include the full family, while others may focus on parents, siblings, couples, or one family member at a time. Also consider appointment availability, scheduling flexibility, and whether the therapist offers a free phone consultation before the first session. Reading bios before booking can help you understand how each therapist works with family dynamics and what to expect.
Therapy in Cleveland can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs and make ongoing care more affordable. Headway helps you search family therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed profiles, verify your insurance, and see estimated session costs before you book. From there, you can compare therapists in Cleveland, Ohio, choose between virtual and in-person care, and book directly when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
