Healing begins from within and flows outwards. There are internal journeys that need to be addressed before one can successfully process, promote, and experience change externally. I do not have a specific ideal client that I would like to work with, because everyone is different. I do hope clients that allow me to work with them will be open and able to communicate their needs to me, so that I may be able to better assist them in a therapeutic manner. More importantly, I would like to partner with my clients to build a healthy therapeutic alliance while actively addressing and participating in sessions.

I believe that taking care of one’s mental health is vital. I strive to create a safe environment where clients can freely express themselves and receive support tailored to their needs.
