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
