My ideal client would be someone who is open-minded. Open to new ideas...new thinking patterns...and new challenges. I've worked with a very diverse clientele over the last six years and I have loved every client and their unique needs. I feel most comfortable with clients who want to work through mild depression, anxiety, self-esteem concerns, and life changes. However, we all know that growth comes from a bit of discomfort. Reach out and let's see if we connect.
