Welcome!
Brandon Area Psychology Associates, LLC was founded to offer the community a warm, welcoming, and family-friendly environment where individuals can find meaningful support for a wide range of emotional and behavioral concerns. My wife, Dr. Laura Dincer, and I are proud to call Lithia, Florida our home, where we live with our three sons — Emre, Evren, and Devren — along with our two dogs, Sophie and Belle.

About My Background
I was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri, and earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida. I went on to complete a Master’s degree in Health Services Administration at the University of Central Florida and a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the Florida School of Professional Psychology in Tampa, where I specialized in Child and Adolescent Clinical Psychology.
My pre-doctoral internship was completed at the Institute for Child and Family Health in Miami, followed by a post-doctoral residency in private practice here in Brandon, Florida.
