A dream client isn't someone who's perfectly put-together or problem-free. Instead, they bring a willingness to engage in the therapeutic process. They are open to exploring their thoughts and feelings, even the uncomfortable ones, and are curious about gaining self-awareness. They understand that therapy is a collaborative effort and are willing to actively participate, both in sessions and by reflecting on their experiences outside of therapy. While they may struggle and have setbacks, they are committed to the process of growth and are willing to be vulnerable. Ultimately, a dream client is someone who shows up authentically
As an LCSW, I find that understanding the, "why & whats" that cause people to act, react & feel things differently are incredibly important. I try to understand you as an individual & by using a compassionate & caring approach helps you to learn & grow through sessions. I want to hear your story so that we can understand & work on increasing coping skills
I utilize CBT & mindfulness techniques to help decrease the effects of anxiety, depression and to identify the triggers so that events can be less stressful & over time decrease the impact they have on the client. I have an extensive history in treatment of substance use issues, mental health & dual diagnosis.

As a practitioner, depression, anxiety & substance use seem to be common issues - whether the issue is the primary one or the result of another problem. I like to identify the reasons & work with the client to develop a treatment plan that works for them. I utilize CBT, mindfulness techniques & provide homework to work on in between sessions so clients can increase their coping skills.
