I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist based in Cleveland, OH. I have experience working with adults (18+) in diverse settings, including schools, private practice, academic medical centers, and the VA. I have worked with clients with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, adjusting to college life, and career challenges.
My approach combines cognitive-behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, and client-centered psychotherapy. A key part of my work is helping you develop healthy and practical tools that we can practice together during our sessions, so you can feel confident using them in your everyday life.
In the initial session, I will gather information about your background and ask specific questions about your reasons for seeking therapy. In later sessions, we will focus more on interactive discussions.
I believe that a strong personality match between you and the clinician is an essential part of therapy. A good match fosters a stronger therapeutic alliance, which is key to successful therapy, as it encourages open communication and creates a safe space for exploration and growth.
