You might look fine on the outside, keeping up with work, showing up for others, managing everything, while internally feeling exhausted, anxious, or like you've lost the thread of who you actually are. If that resonates, you're in the right place. I work with adults who are stuck in patterns they can't seem to shift: overthinking, people-pleasing, chronic stress, burnout.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 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!

Therapist

Hi, I’m glad you’re here. Reaching out for support — whether it’s a small step or a huge leap — takes real courage. If life feels messy, overwhelming, or hard to navigate alone, therapy can give you the grounding, clarity, and tools you need. I work with people moving through major life transitions, the challenges of early parenthood, complicated parent–child dynamics, relationship struggles, trauma, self-worth concerns, and emotions that feel difficult to name or express. You deserve space to slow down, understand yourself, and feel supported.
