I'm not sure I believe in an Ideal client; I think all clients are Ideal, no matter their life circumstances. Life is like a rollercoaster, and when you're going down, you may need someone to be there and help talk you through it. However, If I had to choose, it would be a client having difficulty with self-esteem, self-worth, and depressive symptoms and needing additional assistance building coping skills but expressing readiness to change.

Let me help you to create a more meaningful and fulfilled life. You may feel stuck in your relationships, your career path or a life that doesn’t seem to coincide with your values. You may be suppressing your emotions or brooding about them or pretending to be okay as a way of appearing positive and functional. This will only result in these feelings intensifying, which can bring pain and distress. Therapy can help you be curious about your emotions, help accept them and accurately name them in order to better inform a path forward which aligns with your authentic self and what you hold dear.

You know deep down that something's not quite right. The world feels fragmented, as if you're viewing life through a cracked lens. Trauma has a way of taking pieces of us, leaving behind a puzzle that just doesn't seem to fit anymore. You're often caught in your thoughts, navigating the day as though you're on autopilot, detached from the vibrancy of life around you. Yet, amidst this disconnection, there's a resilient part of you that refuses to let this be your defining story. You envision a life where your experiences illuminate a path for others who are struggling, turning your journey into a beacon of hope.

Chronic stress is not a requirement for success in work or relationships. If you are feeling depressed, anxious, or isolated, regaining balance is possible.

In a judgment-free and solution-focused environment, we will work together to help you find more life satisfaction and confidence. I use only evidence-based, reliable practices in a safe, comfortable environment to help you feel better about your life direction.
