My ideal client is willing to be open, honest, vulnerable and present during our sessions. I appreciate how difficult it can be to reach out for support during difficult times. Clients who are looking for a shift in perspective and emotional relief are a good fit for my style. I use metaphors and real life examples in order to see things from a different angle and change negative thinking patterns. Clients who are struggling with anxiety and/or depression and are looking for concrete tools to use in order to improve their emotional state are also a good fit for my style.
