I believe that therapy should create a safe and conducive environment for exploration and change, be affirming and empathic, facilitate learning and self-discovery, and provide feedback about unhealthy life patterns. My areas of expertise include stress and anxiety management, sports/athletic performance anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship issues, health and wellness, and LGBT issues. In addition to my clinical practice, I teach and perform research on stress, anxiety and health. I have published over 30 articles in the areas of high blood pressure, stress and women's health, and have given over 50 presentations about my research. I received a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology (Syracuse University) and a Ph.D. in Medical Sciences (USF College Medicine). I am a triathlete and black belt in Tae Kwon Do, with an interest in Zen philosophy. Thus, balance, mindfulness, and focus are important aspects of how I view mental health. My background gives me a unique perspective of the mind-body connection. I can help you learn ways to: lower your stress levels, feel less depressed and overwhelmed, make it through a difficult life transition, communicate more effectively, be healthy, and attain balance in your life.
