As a therapist focusing on the mind and the body, my goal is to work with you to help you better understand and navigate challenges in your life. I am integrative in my approach, providing an environment that fits your therapeutic needs.

I am a certified Sex Therapist, trained as a yoga therapy teacher and children's yoga teacher, and certified in DBT, an evidenced-based modality combining CBT and mindfulness skills.

As a psychologist in Clearwater for over 40 years, I bring experience, wisdom, and stability to the therapeutic process. I have been happily married for 48 years and personally know the importance of effective communication and compromise in relationships. I value your time. It is rare for someone to wait more than 10 minutes. With few exceptions, I will conclude the initial session with my impressions, and I will suggest a treatment plan focused on solutions. I am direct and action oriented with a focus on changing behavior and negative thoughts within a supportive relationship.

People do not fit in perfect little boxes, nor should treatment be tailored to a "one size fits all " approach. Everyone is different and unique.

I help to identify and clearly understand why your child is struggling academically, behaviorally and socially. Through neuropsychological testing, clinical interviewing, and observations, I help to uncover your child's strengths and weaknesses. I provide detailed and specialized recommendations for interventions and treatments to address areas of weakness and capitalize on your child's talents. With a doctoral degree in school and clinical psychology, I can help navigate the school's approach to educating and accommodating your child. Together, let's uncover how your child learns best.

Have you ever wondered why you find yourself falling into the same unhealthy patterns in your personal, career or family life? Living a fulfilled life has to do with identifying the negative core beliefs that perpetuate the repetitive patterns of discomfort that we experience in our lives. Our perception is our reality. Only until we alter these misperceptions, will true and lasting change occur. My approach is a combination of Mindfulness Based Cognitive Behavioral therapy and various holistic healing techniques to offer total overall healing and wellness.

Are you looking for a safe and supportive environment where you are encouraged to explore new connections between the source of your suffering, your current difficulties and possible solutions?

I believe that each life event is experienced and processed by the whole person - mind, body, spirit, and emotion.

I emphasize the need to look at the whole person, including analysis of physical, nutritional, emotional, social, spiritual and lifestyle values. I assist my clients in developing personal goals and the tools necessary to achieve balance and well being.
