The ideal client for me is one that is open to connecting with a therapist who will be real with them; a client that is ready to do the work to improve their situation, and is open to hearing honest feedback. Clients that work with me will know that I am a very compassionate individual, who will assume positive intent in others. I will motivate and encourage you to become the best version of yourself!
