Family therapy and counseling in Beachwood, OH

As a dedicated psychotherapist and life coach, I bring both optimism and expertise to my work. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Bowling Green State University and a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Xavier University.

I specialize in supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, and trauma, and provide compassionate care across all age groups, including children (6+), adolescents, adults, and older adults. As a mindfulness-based life coach, I help clients set meaningful goals, build self- awareness, and sustain accountability through personalized, goal-oriented sessions.

I am the owner of Mindful Metanoia LLC, a space that offers mental health education, meditation, and mindfulness training.

In addition to individual counseling, I offer support to families and couples. While I hold a particular passion for serving Black and Brown communities, my practice is inclusive and welcoming to clients from all backgrounds.

Outside the therapy room, I find joy in gardening, dancing, spending time with loved ones, savoring rainstorms, and exploring art in all its forms.

Let’s be honest—starting therapy or entering treatment can feel intimidating. But the fact that you’re here already says so much about your strength and determination. My focus is on making sure you feel safe, understood, and empowered as we figure out the next steps together.

With a strong foundation in both social work and law enforcement, I bring a compassionate, grounded, and practical perspective to therapy. I hold both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Social Work and spent eight years in law enforcement, primarily working patrol. This experience gave me the opportunity to support individuals and families during some of the most challenging and vulnerable moments of their lives.

Through my professional work—and my own lived experiences with critical and traumatic incidents—I developed a deep commitment to helping others heal from trauma. I specialize in trauma-focused therapy and work with individuals navigating life’s challenges, processing difficult past experiences, and building resilience for the future.

My approach blends clinical expertise with real-world understanding to create a space that is supportive, nonjudgmental, and genuine. I strive to ensure clients feel heard, respected, and empowered throughout the therapeutic process. Whether you are working through trauma, adjusting to life transitions, or seeking healthier coping strategies, I aim to help you gain clarity, strengthen your inner resources, and move forward with confidence. I’m here to support you every step of the way on your path toward healing and personal growth.

I am a very open-minded therapist. I have worked with a large range of different people in different settings. I have worked with kiddos from age 4 to adults aged 70+ and have found what works best for each individual I work with. I studied my undergrad at Cleveland State University and got my masters at Northeastern State University in Oklahoma. After, I worked school-base, home-based, as well as within the workers comp world so have worked with a little of everything!

I'm a warm, inquisitive and open minded soul, with a lifetime of challenging personal experiences. You are not alone and I would be honored to support you in your journey to peace, healing, and resolution.
