My ideal client is an adult or late teen/young adult, with an interest in improving and transforming their life via therapy.

That is, I don't consider it useful to assume that issues arise in a vacuum! The greatest gift my clients give me is their ability to teach me far more than I could possibly teach them. I consider our time in session one of validation, hope, and intense curiosity about my client's lives.
