Hi! My name is Max, and I am a behavioral health therapist specializing in individual, couples, and family therapy. For over 36 years, I have had the privilege of helping people throughout the greater Cleveland community navigate life's challenges, rediscover their strengths, and find a renewed sense of direction and purpose. My clinical experience includes working with anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use and addiction, relationship difficulties, and other life challenges. I recognize that not everyone who seeks therapy is experiencing a crisis. Sometimes individuals, couples, and families simply find themselves at a crossroads, feeling disconnected, uncertain, or unfulfilled. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and empowering, helping clients gain perspective, strengthen relationships, and discover new possibilities for personal growth. I believe therapy should be a place where you feel heard, respected, and comfortable being yourself. I also believe a little humor can go a long way in making difficult conversations easier. Ultimately, my goal is to help individuals, couples, and families find greater direction, fulfillment, healthier connections, and an improved quality of life. You don't have to have everything figured out to begin. Sometimes taking that first step is the beginning of something wonderful.
