The ideal client is one that is seeking a potentially different way of managing their anxieties and conflicts.
After 30+ years in Private Non-Profits as a Therapist, Supervisor, and Director, I am seeking to open a practice to aid individuals in the complicated world we find ourselves in. I fundamentally practice from Psychodynamic Theory and Family Systems, however, I open to more EBP based on the client's needs and wants.
I hope that in our sessions you will find support, understanding, growth and challenge that benefits your journey in life.
