You’re depressed, stressed out, or worrying all the time. You have noticed that you’re having trouble doing things. You know the feelings you’re having are making it hard to keep relationships or make new ones. Maybe you’re struggling to ask for what you need or to set boundaries. You aren’t interested in things like you once were. You don’t like feeling this way, but you don’t know how to change it.

Are you aiming to improve your relationships with the goal of creating a greater sense of community support? Are you self-motivated and interested in processing your life experiences to find patterns and make meaning of your emotional experiences? A typical client will be aligned with the belief in the importance of community and community care. I work with clients who are ready to do "the work." The expectation is that clients show up regularly and on time for sessions.

My ideal client would be willing to work with me systemically, meaning someone willing to look beyond themselves and think, “Why is this happening?” instead of just thinking they are the problem. For example, if someone is coming in to work on depression and anxiety, my ideal client would be willing to explore the underlying issues contributing to the depression and anxiety instead of someone who is only looking for coping skills and such.

Do you struggle with anxiety/depressive-like symptoms? Do you have changes within your workplace or relationships? You may have goals to improve communication within the workplace and social/ family relationships, develop coping skills such as mindfulness and distress tolerance, and reframe thinking and response effectively within interpersonal settings.

I have worked with clients with issues such as marital problems, but they improved self-esteem, advocacy, and assertiveness in therapy, which reduced conflict with their spouse. My ideal client is someone motivated to change at the onset of therapy, who is committed to attending regular therapy sessions, identifies their goals, and focuses on a collaborative process to achieve their goals.

My ideal client is an individual or couple motivated to make a change. Their issues can range from struggling to manage their day-to-day lives to struggling to handle emotional reactions. They would need someone who can gently call things out while providing coping skills or tools. My ideal client would want to make an effort to show up consistently. Showing up consistently is not just attending sessions but also putting in work outside of sessions. With consistency, there's more progress. If the client needs some time to warm up, we can work with that, too.
