There is no such thing as an "ideal client." Each individual is unique, and care will be tailored to fit patient needs.

Self-discovery and implementation of new habits and skills can be uncomfortable. My ideal client is someone who is ready to be uncomfortable and one who is dedicated to making an investment in their mental health. Having someone who is consistent with their care and transparent about their feelings and symptoms will lead to an efficient resolution of concerns and achieving goals.

Do you ever wonder if the feelings you are experiencing are normal? Are you wondering why you are so forgetful, why you have trouble concentrating, or why you are easily distracted? Perhaps you find it difficult to wake up in the morning, you lack the motivation to participate in life anymore, and you are sometimes tearful for no apparent reason? Are you having difficulty falling asleep at night or waking up multiple times throughout the night, leaving you feeling exhausted the following day? Did you experience trauma that left you feeling anxious and tense? These challenges do not have to be faced alone!
