I am a licensed clinical therapist with over 20 years of experience working with children, teens, and adults with a wide array of emotional, cognitive and behavioral concerns. I am currently serving the Lake County area at Counseling and Behavioral Solutions, Inc in Leesburg but have worked in outpatient agencies, inpatient settings, and within the public school system. I feel my varied experience has equipped me to meet the client where they are in their personal journey toward emotional stability and balance, while also helping them navigate and advocate for their needs in the larger community.

One of the first things asked of me when creating this website profile was to describe my ideal client. I don't think I have an ideal client. To me that implies that I can pick and choose my client's problems, symptoms, relationships, and so forth, and it's that same individuality and variety of people and presenting concerns that I value. I wouldn't change that if I could. I meet a lot of people who don't really know what they need or cannot visualize/verbalize their true goals. Discovery can be a part of the therapeutic process.

I focuse on the internal and external processes of a client. My PhD research was on the effects of trauma and how to heal trauma. Through a process of releasing the cellular memory of the past and finding empowerment/self love, in addition to positive communication, one is able to move forward in a happy and healthy way. I also ran a 5 star addiction program for a psych hospital. For over 25 years I have used hypnosis, regression therapy including past life work and meditation. My clients report loving the results. These therapies help heal trauma, anxiety, depression, and give insight into negative patterns.
