My areas of expertise are stress/anxiety management, postoperative/postsurgical depression and anxiety, athlete mental health, life transitions (e.g. perimenopause), and health and wellness. I can help you learn ways to lower your stress levels, recover quicker from injury or surgery, attain balance in your life, or cope with the challenges of major life transitions. I received a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology (Syracuse Univ) and a Ph.D. in Medical Sciences (USF Coll Medicine). Besides clinical work, I have taught and published research on stress and health. My background gives me a unique perspective of the mind-body connection.
I believe you are never too old to expand your mind and change. I became a triathlete when I was 49. I'm also just learning to play electric guitar. I have a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, with an interest in Zen philosophy. Thus, life balance, mindfulness, lifetime learning, and focus are important aspects of how I view mental health.
Therapy should create a safe and conducive environment for exploration and change, be affirming and empathic, facilitate learning and self-discovery, and provide feedback on changing unhealthy life patterns. Please don't hesitate to reach out. You can meet Therapy Dogs Extraordinaire Clementine and Fiona! For more information: www.aimforchange.com

I've helped many people who are overwhelmed by stress and anxiety. My clients discover that it's possible to lower anxiety levels by understanding the connection between the brain and body, and how they can use their brain power to reduce negative thoughts and be productive without operating at a frenzied pace. Therapy can help you rise above your challenges and move towards your ideal life.

Mounds of research show that Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can positively change your thinking, beliefs, emotions & behaviors. It can help you let go of what's holding you back and feel less overwhelmed.
