An ideal client for therapy is characterized by their openness to change, motivation, and willingness to invest effort in their therapeutic journey to achieve the most effective treatment and therapeutic experience. These clients often face mental health issues like anxiety, depression, or personality disorders, impacting daily life. They seek education, health management, prevention, treatment, diagnosis, and support for self-improvement and better relationships. Ultimately, someone who is actively seeks preventive and therapeutic measures to improve their mental health and overall quality of life.

I believe that each individual is capable of growth and change. Most of the time clients accomplish this by using the strengths they already have. When facing depression, anxiety, life changes and stress it can be very difficult to see a solution on your own. It may be especially difficult for men or young people to enter therapy for the first time. I understand this and work with you to make the process as comfortable as possible. Together we can be partners on your journey to emotional wellness.

No matter what struggles one's past might hold, I believe all people have the power to improve their lives once they gain insight and skills through therapy. While I have worked successfully with clients experiencing a variety of concerns, I specialize in helping people who are interested in overcoming symptoms related to trauma and anxiety. In addition to my advanced training and individual work with this population, I have also developed and facilitated therapeutic groups for adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse and women who have experienced trauma of any kind.

Life can take us through twists and turns. On the outside things may seem fine, but on the inside, you are feeling incredibly overwhelmed.

Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, or interpersonal challenges, counseling can be an incredible outlet. I provide individual counseling for adolescents and adults to enhance insight on personal struggle, develop effective coping skills, and empower my clients to face each day with confidence.
