What's My Approach to Therapy?
I offer therapy that helps you move forward. Any frustration or challenge—no matter the size—is valid and can mark the beginning of a meaningful journey to grow up, through, and beyond your difficulties. Whether you are facing relationship struggles, feeling stuck, or confronting life’s big questions and decisions, we work together to understand and transform the underlying patterns that shape your experience. Drawing on evidence-based methods, my approach supports you in meeting life’s complexities with steadiness, insight, and a touch of humor.
With nearly ten years of clinical experience, including work as an interfaith chaplain at the Cleveland Clinic, I bring a deep respect for individual stories and the search for perspective. I hold degrees in history and theology and trained as a therapist at John Carroll University. Currently, I am completing advanced training at the Cleveland Psychoanalytic Center—an institute renowned for its rigorous, historically grounded teaching. This background informs my love for exploring how personal and cultural histories influence who we are and how we heal.
St. Augustine observed that people marvel at the heights of mountains and the movement of the stars, et relinquunt se ipsos—“and they leave themselves behind.” In therapy, I invite you to return to yourself, to cultivate curiosity and understanding, and to begin weaving together the strands of your next chapter.
I practice at Archive, a company dedicated to raising standards in therapy. We bring together rigorously trained therapists and provide therapy that is thoughtful, structured, and focused on lasting impact. We believe working with a wise, professional partner is one of the most meaningful investments you can make in yourself.
