My ideal client is a client who is motivated for change, but is not quite sure how to get there. To be aware enough to want to make a difference in one's life is a powerful tool that should not be overlooked. There is no issue or need that is too great for therapy and I believe that we can work together to create everlasting change! Ideal clients generally struggle with transition problems or need guidance on how to proceed with well constructed plans. Their goals include operating in ways so that they can sustain their newly achieved status of their preferred way of living. They desire this for longevity and sustainability.
