My ideal clients are those who have faced traumatic experiences and are grappling with symptoms of anxiety, depression, and PTSD, which can leave them feeling vulnerable, immobilized, and stuck.

My dream clients are individuals who are ready and willing to embark on a collaborative journey with me to explore and address their mental health, ultimately working together towards their well-being.

When we struggle with psychological distress, meaning stress, anxiety, panic, or overwhelming sadness, we tend to feel isolated and disconnected from the world. Do any of these resonate to you?

Life can throw us curve balls at any point without warning, potentially knocking us off our current path and leading to transitional periods or uncertainty.

However, therapy is far from intimidating and complex with the right therapist. Seeking assistance is a sign of courage and the first step toward growth.
