I recognize that every person I work with is a unique individual with their own story, history, hopes, personality, and interests. Through individual, group and family therapy, I provide a holistic and psychodynamic approach to meet the needs of each person. The challenges bringing people to treatment do not affect only one part of their lives, which is why considering the whole self is crucial for effective and sustainable change.

My ideal client is curious about themselves and the world and actively participates in the therapeutic process. I enjoy working with young adults and older adults, but I'm not limited to these populations. My ideal client is at a place of feeling "stuck" in their life. Whether that be a career transition, deciding on a college major, feeling lost in a relationship, or a new onset of symptoms. I am also comfortable with helping individuals unpack their past to understand their current habits. My ideal client wants to understand their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to develop self-awareness and self-compassion along the way.

My ideal client is one who is willing to explore uncomfortable areas in their life and understand that vulnerability is part of the process. One of the most important parts of therapy to me is highlighting accountability and what roles we play in our own lives. I enjoy working with clients who are struggling with relationship issues, self-esteem, irrational thinking, and life adjustments. A client who can pinpoint what they would like to improve in their life and request a little bit of guidance along the way is an ideal client. Their goal is not to be perfect but to improve their day-to-day life a little more each day.

My ideal client needs help with the services I specialize in. I typically consider the client's current habits and strengths to guide us on where to start goal setting. Showing up to therapy is a huge step, and I commend any client who takes that initiative.

My ideal client is a 30-year-old woman with depression and anxiety who needs help with abandonment issues, self-esteem, and coping skills. The client aims to get past her anger with her father for abandoning her mother and his kids. She wants to learn to love herself and see and acknowledge her strengths instead of focusing on her weaknesses. She wants to work on coping skills for her anxiety, and hopefully, it will help her get through the days with better clarity and help her sleep better.

My ideal client would most likely be a female teenager working through peer relationships, self-esteem, and social anxiety. With this client, I believe some of her needs would be to explore core beliefs of who she is in comparison to what others may say/think of her, cognitively challenging and reframing intrusive/negative thought patterns, and slowly expose the client to social scenarios in which she can use her coping skills to effectively navigate new situations.

All clients have their own unique, individual experiences that, while may overlap with others, are still inherently their own. I truly wish to help these individuals navigate whatever issues they are presenting with, which tend to be far from ideal.
