Family Therapy in Clearwater, FL

I have been a Florida Licensed Psychologist since 1976, providing the highest quality of Psychological services to children, teenagers, adults, and families in the Tampa Bay area. Although I work with children as young as 2 years old and adults who are over 80 years young, I have always had a heartfelt interest in providing assistance to individuals with special needs and to their family members, as well. As a result of my strong belief that no one lives in a vacuum, whenever I provide therapeutic assistance to an individual, I frequently involve members of that individual's close family .

I invested more than twenty years serving an educator and as a principal of therapeutic schools.

My experience prepares me to work with children/adolescents who feel challenged in their school environment and tumultuous developmental stage. My empathetic, non-judgmental approach creates a safe and trusting therapeutic environment for transformation of personal and familial desires.
