The brain, body and mind are all connected

You are not simply a diagnosis or a symptom. You are a person who is both a mind and a body. I offer services that allow me to address people's needs with consideration of the physical and psychological components of their well being. I do this without the usage of drugs or surgery.

What makes me different

​I am a Chiropractic Physician who also has a separate and distinct license and experience in diagnosing and treating mental health needs. This allows me to provide a level of treatment unparalleled in the healthcare professions.

Chiropractic
​Chiropractic is traditionally thought of as a treatment for back pain, neck pain and headaches. While chiropractic does in fact alleviate pain in many patients, it can also be used to treat a wide variety of other problems. In fact, it can be used to help optimize well-being even if no symptoms exist at all. I use Sacro-Occpital Techique (SOT ®) and forms of chiropractic which are both gentle and effective for people of all ages. I am a Certified Craniopath by Sacro Occipital Research Society International and a member of the International Craniopathic Society. I am the only Certified Craniopath in Pinellas county Florida and one of only two SOT ® practitioners with this level of certification in the Tampa area. I am one of four Certified Craniopaths in the state of Florida. I also utilize Applied Kinesiology including more recent developments in the field taught by Diplomate level leaders in the field of AK.

Neurofeedback
The brain controls the rest of the body. Neurofeedback retrains the brain and can be used to treat a variety of disorders including ADHD, anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD, insomnia, migraines, chronic pain and more. In fact, some athletes even use Neurofeedback for peak performance. Neurofeedback is  a drug-free method of producing change in your brain with lasting results. In addition to traditional forms of Neurofeedback, I use next-generation forms of surface z-score, sLORETA z-score and swLORETA z-score Neurofeedback along with brain stimulation technologies including Neurofield to get patients results as soon as possible. I am a board-certified licensed diplomate in quantitative electroencephalography (QEEG-DL), one of about only 100 currently active in the world.

Psychotherapy
I have 21 years of experience working with a people with variety of mental health issues. I have worked with many people treating a broad spectrum of problems and know that different people require different types of interventions. I work with people to find what works best for them. Additionally, I use Eye-Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR)  to help people with trauma and other related mental health conditions. EMDR can be profoundly helpful for chiropractic patients with a history of trauma who don't "hold" their adjustments.

Research
I have done and continue to do pioneering research in the therapies I use in my practice. During my education I was in the elite Research Track reserved for only a few students. My research includes the relationship between the methods of chiropractic I use and its affect on brain function and behavior, doing the first three arm randomized-controlled study in this topic. 

Part of a team
The vast majority of my professional experience is working on multidiscipinary teams including Medical Doctors, Osteopaths, Psychiatrists, Physician Assistants,  Occupational Therapists, Physical Therapists, Social Workers and Neuropsychologists. I enjoy working with other professionals as a team to help get the best care for my patients. I actively seek out the best care for my patients when a problem falls outside of my expertise or scope of practice.  If I can't help you, I'll help you find someone who can. 

It's all about you

We all have a potential. I'm all about helping you reach that potential and achieve your goals in life, be they simply not being in pain or a more comprehensive transformation helping you become who you truly are. Whatever you want, I am here to help.
