For me, a client is someone who feels overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected—whether due to trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or the weight of life transitions. They may be highly functioning on the outside but silently struggling inside. They often carry unprocessed experiences that affect their confidence, emotional regulation, or relationships.
They’re not necessarily sure what healing looks like, but they know they want more peace, clarity, and purpose. What they need is a safe, nonjudgmental space where they can be seen, heard, and challenged with compassion.
