The ideal client is motivated to continue to work with their inner child to become grounded in the present moment. They may have anxiety, mood disorders, or personality disorders, or they may not be sure what is underlying their experience, which I can help identify as well. The ideal clients are open to trying new methods of healing, including arts and spirituality. They are willing to trust me with their feelings and express them, whether that is verbally, through the expressive arts, or both.

I love working with people who have come to therapy because they really want to change something about their lives that isn't working.

Based on my own personal and clinical experience, the development of a warm, empathic, safe relationship is key to therapeutic success.
