I hope to help you overcome your struggles. Reach out for more!

They would be choosing to focus on themselves, what they need, and seeking help.

Their goals for therapy would be to process their thoughts and emotions while developing long-term skills to use in the future.

My ideal client is someone who understands the areas of their life that need improvement. They have an idea of potential treatment goals for therapy and is open to the process. Additionally, they believe there are many ways to address previous traumas and can identify preferences for treatment.

You have already invested in personal growth, learned mindfulness, meditate, focus on your wellness... and yet... you still feel stuck. You find yourself apologizing to the waitress when you ask for more salad dressing. You have trouble speaking up to your partner for fear of being called dramatic, too much or over-sensitive. You hate when people post your picture without showing you first. You hear whispers of the old you who wanted big things and know that it is your intuition calling. You want to stop feeling small. You want to make peace with old wounds. ​ You are ready to take up space without apology.

Searching for a therapist takes courage. You may be seeking relief from anxious or depressed thoughts, support in setting healthy boundaries, improved self-confidence, or deeper connections. You want something to change, and I will meet you with empathy and warmth as you begin this journey.

My ideal client is one that is open to change. A client that, even if they see no way through, they trust that I am there to do all I can to help them, not just to listen, watch the clock, and end a session, but to be invested in their transformation from start to finish. My ideal client is one who is comfortable, even if not at first, celebrating themselves and not being fearful about trying again. Things aren't always successful on our first try, but my ideal client will understand this, embrace the lesson in each situation, and be willing to use what they've learned to try again.

The hardest step to take in your mental health journey is asking for help, and I will be that person, waiting to help you. As your counselor, my main goal is to create a warm, safe, and nonjudgmental space. We will become a team through trust and collaboration. As a team, we will explore the changes you would like to make in order to achieve your goals.

It is hard to say what my ideal client is because I believe that I am capable of working with various types of people and that each person is unique. Even with a "challenging" client, I have learned a lot and found value in the work. With that being said, my ideal client has a history of trauma that has impacted their ability to connect with others and themselves. They are struggling with body image, intrusive thoughts, and anxiety about how others are perceiving them. They want to be empowered to advocate for themselves when necessary and create a wellness routine that serves as a preventative measure for mental health problems.
