Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile! I do not believe that I have one ideal client. I work well with the younger population, especially when it comes to things like bullying and anxiety, because I have the most experience with this group and with these problems. What I am looking for in an "ideal client" is the drive to improve oneself. By seeking out a therapist and attending therapy a client has already taken steps to help themselves and in doing so has become my ideal client. A person that wants the help to change or grow in some aspect of their lives.

Each person, male or female, is accepted as a unique individual and accepted for where they are at this point in time. I bring an awareness that an individual's behavior and feelings are multidetermined by many complex factors - family of origin, societal, interpersonal relationships and individual characteristics and experiences. Understanding, change and better adaptation are feasible goals for all individuals.

Hello! I am a doctorate level Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 15 years experience working with people across the lifespan with a variety of issues and concerns. I named my practice Vantage Point Counseling because a vantage point is a place or position affording a good view of something. My goal is to help you do just that: I want to help you achieve wellness and enhance your ability to cope, overcome barriers or past experiences, and experience the change you're looking for.

Specializing in addictions and mental health, I have experience working with individuals and their families as they go through the recovery process. Addiction and mental illness can be isolating experiences and you no longer have to face these issues alone.

An ideal client is anyone who is willing to show up for themselves. Therapy can be intimidating and uncomfortable, and sometimes the last place a person wants to be. When that person shows up to their session despite this, and with a genuine hope to change their life for the better, we can begin working towards whatever that means for them.
