About

Welcome to Ripple Effect Therapy! We’re not just therapists. We’re a husband-and-wife team who have made Venice, Florida, our home and professional haven. After many years in private practice here, we have stepped out on our own to create a space where meaningful change happens one ripple at a time. We believe in blending professional expertise with a personal touch. As parents of two wonderful sons, one navigating high school here in Venice and the other off to college in Tennessee, we understand the balancing act of family life. Alongside our two dogs and a cat, we make the most of Florida’s beautiful outdoors and bring that same sense of balance and warmth into our therapy practice. At Ripple Effect Therapy, our diverse backgrounds help us connect with clients from all walks of life. We’re here to support you on your journey, offering a space where your story is heard and your goals matter.
