Hello! My name is Jesse and I am a Licensed independent Social Worker and a Licensed Independent Chemical Dependency Counselor in the state of Ohio. During the day, I am a behavioral health supervisor for a residential mental health and substance use facility in the Cleveland area. I bring extensive experience working in both residential and outpatient settings for adults facing mental health and substance use challenges. My approach to therapy is person-centered, with a focus on evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).

I specialize in supporting individuals through addiction recovery, managing mood and personality disorders, and navigating life transitions, anxiety, and depression. My practice is both BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ affirming, ensuring a safe and inclusive environment for all. I am committed to empowering my clients by providing a space where they can explore their challenges and work towards meaningful change. I believe that therapy is a journey, with many different twists and paths that can lead us to a greater enlightenment, as well as a greater understanding of ourselves and the world around us.

In my free time I enjoy being able to spend time outside, taking my two Pembroke Welsh Corgis for walks. I also enjoy the local food scene in Cleveland and can often be found at the nearest coffee shop scrolling through TikToks and social media, or down near the West Side Market shopping and enjoying time with friends. When I am not out and about I enjoy a quiet night at home, typically with some reality television playing in the background.
