My ideal client is one who wants to build a collaborative relationship to work towards their goals. Connection and trust are two of the most important qualities a client and therapist can share. In order to work together, it is important to feel comfortable and as though your needs are being met. I love clients who are motivated for change. I truly enjoy being part of your journey!
I have worked with people from many different backgrounds and age groups. Compassion, empathy, and keeping an open mind are at the forefront of my practice. I strive to make my clients feel they are being heard and supported. Whether you are dealing with life transitions, mental illness, or just need someone to talk to, I am ready to help!
I know coming to therapy can be difficult, but I want you to feel excited for your sessions. No issue is too big or too small. If it matters to you, it matters to me. If traditional psychotherapy isn't enough for you, I can share more about our transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) therapy and psychedelic drug treatment. Let's get through this together!
