Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 8.4 mi away • Berea, OH


I earned my bachelor's degree in psychology at Colorado State University and my master's in clinical mental health counseling at Kent State University. I have experiencing working with adolescents in a residential treatment facility and have spent the last three years working with individuals ages 7-75 in a community mental health organization with a wide range of diagnoses. I spent the first several years of my career focusing on working with children with ADHD and their families at an internship through the Cleveland Clinic. I specialize in behavioral concerns, interpersonal conflict, ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and stress management. In my free time, I enjoy watching movies, TV, and sports, spending time with friends and family, and being outdoors.

Virtual & in-person • 11 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!

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

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

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Lakewood

Searching for therapists in Lakewood starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want to work on. You may be looking for support with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, stress, or life transitions. As you compare Lakewood therapists, look for specialties and approaches that fit your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, trauma-informed care, or couples counseling. A therapist’s profile can show how they describe their style, what concerns they often support, and what you can expect in sessions.

In a smaller city like Lakewood, nearby office options may be limited, so virtual therapy can help expand your search while still keeping care within Ohio. You may prefer an in-person therapist near central Lakewood, the lakefront, or nearby Cleveland neighborhoods, or a virtual therapist with appointment times that fit your schedule. Before booking, check whether the therapist is accepting new patients, offers a free phone consultation, and has availability that works for you. Reading bios closely can help you compare communication style, session structure, and areas of focus before choosing a therapist.

Therapy in Lakewood can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your out-of-pocket expense before you start care. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, verify your insurance, and see an estimated session cost before booking. You can browse therapists in Lakewood, review profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:

* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741

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.
