The city of Willowick, Ohio is a suburb of Cleveland that uses the motto “Great Living on a Great Lake.” Located on Lake Erie, the city is also home of Robert Manry, who sailed the shortest boat to ever cross the Atlantic Ocean, the Tinkerbelle, in 1965.

He is a notable example of overcoming adverse odds to go on to do remarkable things. Just like Manry’s small vessel, our hearts and minds are quite small but are capable of anything we dream can dream. You can be inspired and embrace Manry’s spirit to sail your boat toward the help of a therapist today.

I'm a clinical psychologist licensed in Ohio with seven years of experience providing psychotherapy for a wide range of concerns. My experience includes working with individuals who have concerns with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorders, personality disorders, histories of trauma, PTSD, and interpersonal difficulties. I identify primarily with a cognitive behavioral approach, but incorporate skills from a variety of therapeutic orientations. Treatment can sometimes feel robotic, and I want to make sure that my clients are able to experience the opposite. People deserve a compassionate and caring therapist who meets them where they are. I believe that clients are the experts on their own experiences and I work to empower them so that they can create the changes they want to see in their lives. Taking the first step or trying again with therapy is incredibly difficult. Choosing a therapist that will be the best for your needs can also be hard. I am happy to discuss your expectations and desires for treatment and help you navigate more easily through this time. I look forward to working with you!
