My ideal client is someone who is willing to work with me and engage with me effectively. This includes open lines of communication and utilizing therapy times efficiently. I don't believe that progress can be rushed and have no interest in "fixing" anyone. However, I am always honest in my assessments, thoughts, and opinions with clients, and my hope is that my client will do the same. My ideal client is a client who is eager to talk and is open to feedback. My ideal client is also someone who is willing to work through set backs or challenges, together as a team.

As a parent, you instinctively know your child best. Yet, even with this intuition, seeing them face challenges can leave you feeling unsure of how to offer the most effective support. Educational psychology can bridge that gap. By understanding your child's unique learning style, we can work together to develop strategies that empower them in the classroom. This not only builds confidence but also fosters a love of learning that extends far beyond academics.

I'm not taking any new clients at this time. I believe that happiness is a choice that you can make every day of your life -- an active, conscious choice. I believe that life is meant to be enjoyed -- not just endured. My clients tell me that I am easy to talk to and nonjudgmental. Clients come to me because they are dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, career or relationship issues. I create a safe place where clients let go of the past, enjoy the present and embrace the future. I use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with an emphasis on mindfulness. Whatever you are going through, you do not have to go through it alone.

My ideal client is someone who comes to therapy in a time of need. They might be experiencing anxiety due to life changes and transitions or they might be experiencing symptoms of anxiety for the first time and be concerned as to where the anxiety came from. The client might be processing loss or grief from a loved one or past friendships and or relationships. My ideal client will have needs such as needing to identify coping skills to get through life stressors, assistance with reaching goals. As a therapist I would be able to provide the client with a objective perspective to bounce their ideas and situations off of.

Does your mind run in circles? Maybe you feel anxious, exhausted, and overwhelmed, but letting something slide fills you with guilt. My clients are high achieving compassionate people, yet still it doesn't feel like enough. Many have experienced traumas or difficult relationships that have left them feeling lost. And like you, they want something to change. You are worth the time and energy of therapy to build healthier relationships, a stronger sense of self, and find relief from anxiety and panic.

Life is “life-ing.” Things are changing and you’re starting to feel overwhelmed, anxious, and irritable. Now it’s impacting your relationships, your job, your health, and how you feel towards yourself. You’re feeling unsure if this is “bad enough” to talk to someone. If this is you, I’m so glad you’re here and the answer is, “Yes, this is absolutely something to bring to therapy!” Even if they are good ones, changes can sometimes be more than we have bargained for and create a lot of stress and anxiety. Learning skills to cope and connect with yourself and others can help you grow through life challenges.

I recognize that entering therapy is a big decision. I am sensitive to each client's specific needs and the pace in which the individual wishes to move in treatment. I make my best effort to support people in feeling comfortable, safe, and empowered in their sessions. I use a strengths-based approach in my work: recognizing each individual's strengths, and then building on those qualities, to help them bring about positive change in their lives. Talk therapy supports healing through processing feelings and growing one's sense of self.

It is not easy to start therapy treatment. An ideal client is a person that, even through all the fears, doubts and questions, takes the first step to start treatment and gives a chance to explore a new technique to find better balance in their life. There could be setbacks in the process but the most important thing is to stay constant. The client is willing to work in their goals and implement skills learned in every session. Also, to ask questions needed, even if they feel afraid, in order to be able to communicate with their therapist in a honest way.

Female Therapists
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
