EMDR Therapists in Cleveland, OH

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I work with adolescents and adults with a variety of presenting concerns. My goal as a therapist is to provide an individualized approach to each client and meet them where they are. Clients who work with me can expect to be met with empathy and openness. I work to make sure each client is heard, understood, and feels safe throughout their counseling experience. Together, we will work to create goals and form a collaborative relationship to ensure growth and progress. I see clients primarily via telehealth.

Being trained in Marriage and Family Therapy isn't just about working with couples. It is best to state that relationships are my passion. Be it with the self: your thoughts, fears, concerns, spirituality, etc...or with others: a friend, sibling, partner, etc. Whether it's focusing on anxieties, communication, troubling thoughts, trauma, or depression, I founded One Session at a Time to provide an accepting, safe environment for those who want to challenge themselves in their journey toward self growth either on their own or with another.

Clients who work with me are searching for ways to grow personally, professionally, interpersonally, intrapersonally, and oftentimes all of the above. Clients that choose to work with me are encouraged to be their authentic selves without fear of judgement or rejection in a safe and brave environment. Clients find new meanings and ways of living that strengthen them to ward off depression, anxiety, trauma responses, and other barriers preventing them from living their lives fully. Clients also work with me to reprocess their traumatic memories and develop healthier futures using EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing).

Life can be overwhelming and tough. Sometimes, we need more than our normal support systems. Sometimes, we need help moving forward and healing. Color, sexuality, gender, societal stereotypes, labels and trauma can add to ones struggle to navigate through life. Whatever brings you to counseling, it is my honor and goal to be with you through your journey in healing

As a Licensed Independent Social Worker in private practice, I work with adults in individual therapy to address issues including depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, relationship issues, and life adjustments and transitions. I value the process of working collaboratively with people to help them increase self-awareness and decrease suffering.

My practice is based less on types of presenting issues and more on some fundamental assumptions about humanity. 1) Any client I work with is doing the best they can in the moment I meet them, 2) all people respond to compassion and understanding, and all people are injured by shaming and 3) two opposing things can be true at the same time, and much of our suffering is an inability to sit with that belief. Whoever you are and whatever your reason for seeking treatment, I will meet you exactly where you are the moment you walk in my virtual door. I consider myself your partner in your journey to find and be your most authentic self.

Let's talk about grief, and loss! Have you had a major loss, a love one died, a relationship ended, loss a job/career, loss of trust, or good health? Have you experienced a traumatic event either for yourself or witnessed trauma to someone else? The Grief Recovery Method is an educational intervention that provides both group and one-on-one support to address losses of all kinds and especially includes the death of a loved one. The Grief Recovery Method can be offered as a one-on-one service or a group experience. EMDR is another supportive technique/therapy used to address traumatic life experiences and life anxieties and stresses.

I am honored to share this sacred journey with you.

You may be struggling with a lot right now, and I want to welcome you to reach out to me anytime. In our lives, we have to deal with so many difficulties. Even when things seem like they are going well, there can exist inner conflict and a lingering sense that something might be wrong. Things are moving fast, and you may feel like your attention span has shrunk. You may be zoning out or just feeling like something terrible could happen. You may be having trouble sleeping, managing impulses, making decisions, or maintaining motivation. You may be struggling with people or challenging situations in your life.

People can heal from trauma. But you don't have to do this alone. People pleasing, relationship stress, anger, chronic pain, addictions, shame, insecurity; just a few ways trauma tends to show itself in your life. When people decide to get curious about how the wounding moments in life have impacted their self-worth and worldview, then healing can occur. You deserve to heal. And you deserve support through this process. I help people let go of shame, rediscover who they are, and find reasons to smile again. I would be honored to help discover what healing looks like for you, should you choose to no longer travel that path alone.

My goal is to create a safe and affirming space to facilitate growth and self-exploration and to support and meet you where you are in life. Together, we can look into what brought you into counseling, take your values into consideration and help build coping and mindfulness skills in order to navigate life or manage stress. I tend to use ACT, CBT, DBT, and EMDR skills in my practice as well. Sometimes we need a safe and unbiased space to go to in order to talk about what we are going through and to encourage growth in new ways. It’s important to take care of our mental health just as we take care of our physical health.
