My ideal client is someone who experiences anxiety and has trouble with being assertive and making decisions that impact them directly. This client would need to learn boundaries, and their goal would be to have full control of their life without requiring others' input.

I believe that clients first need to experience a sense of trust and security before sharing can evolve into the dynamic process which enables the best opportunity for a positive change. Working with me in a therapeutic process feels like having a peaceful dialogue with someone who is empathic, understanding, and nonjudgmental. I delicately approach clients’ suffering while striving to understand the language of suffering they use to express their psychological pain.
