The ideal client is motivated to continue to work with their inner child to become grounded in the present moment. They may have anxiety, mood disorders, or personality disorders, or they may not be sure what is underlying their experience, which I can help identify as well. The ideal clients are open to trying new methods of healing, including arts and spirituality. They are willing to trust me with their feelings and express them, whether that is verbally, through the expressive arts, or both.

In over twenty-five years of working with adolescents and adults in schools and clinics, I have learned that people seek therapy because they are struggling to manage overwhelming emotions and experiences. Therapy offers the opportunity to explore symptoms like depression and anxiety with another person, so these feelings can be tolerated and understood. As you investigate your patterns of relating, your coping strategies, and your resources, you will develop new perspectives and recognize your own capacities.
