I believe that at the heart of human experience we all have choice, free-will and the capacity for self-actualization and self-fulfillment. I believe that all people know what they need, and with the right support and guidance, will make changes that are the most meaningful to themselves. Everyone has growth potential!

As the writer and teacher Stephen Levine put it, “To heal is to touch with love that which was previously touched by fear.” A basic guiding principle in my work is that, when we are able to really see and accept where we are, and who we are, we begin to heal and grow. There is a trust I have found in this, that if we attend to what comes up in this place, it will lead us through.

Sometimes coming to therapy is about exploring, where you have been and what your next life steps will be, or to explore deeper patterns that keep appearing in your life. I would love to be alongside you in this process!

In the end, all therapy focuses on personal growth. Very often our complaints stem from some fundamental unwillingness to grow. Childhood wounding leaves us hoping for a parental figure (or lover) to fill a void in our lives. The maturity that comes from looking at and facing our lives and the disappointments in our lives and taking responsibility for moving forward is a life-long process.

My practice focuses on helping you understand yourself better and clarifying your personal values. I can help you become aware of the patterns in your life, so you can make intentional decisions about how you want to live your life.

Experience working with adults in learning about the connections between our pasts and present and finding playful interventions to meet treatment goals.

I often like to relate personal growth to trees. In order to grow trees need to be in the right environment, with the proper soil, water, and light to grow. Sometimes trees need to shed their branches so they can reach new heights. I work with you to help identify your values, strengths, and grounding so you can grow towards your light.

My experience teaching philosophy for nearly 15 years has given me the experience of shepherding hundreds of students through the personal growth associated with intellectual development and the cultivation of self-examination and reflection. I've developed strategies not only to encourage this deep reflection but also ways to support, nurture, and care for those who struggle with it.

Individual counseling sessions provide a safe place for people to resolve inner conflicts, process life experiences, heal from traumas and examine personal thoughts and goals. I collaborate with each individual to create a unique, custom desiged plan to having greater peace of mind, better relationships and a more enriching life. Together we will work toward getting you to a better place.

Wow. How lucky are we that you discovered you\'re ready for some personal growth? I am ready to begin helping you grow into the person you deserve and need to be.

I am a therapist today because I was able to do the work to re-discover my true self and passion for helping others with the help of “The Artist’s Way” by Julia Cameron. Cameron’s work, along with others, such as Thich Nhat Hanh and Pema Chödrön, informs my therapeutic work with clients interested in continued growth and personal development.

Personal growth is a never-ending journey. Each person is beautifully unique. You can move toward personal growth by discovering what it means for you to live authentically. We will explore your history, your passions, your spirituality and your creativity to help your uncover who you truly are.

I trust that each human has infinite potential to grow into who they truly are. I support clients in whatever type of growth is wanting to happen within them and in their lives by utilizing experiential approaches.

As clients have a greater understanding and ability to manage the major impediments in their lives (such as depression, anxiety, etc.) general self-care and an ability to go passed immediate concerns and into areas of long term wellness begins to emerge. I am happy to help clients delve into these areas.

Improving communication, relationships, self-esteem, self-awareness, embodiment, and self-compassion are all facets of personal growth that can ripple out into your life in amazing ways. My counseling style always focuses on deepening your trust in your own core knowing, so that you may develop in the direction of your own authenticity.

Regardless of where you are in life, having support as you navigate can be useful. I work with people who are stuck, in a transition, or just want to grow as a person. Through building awareness of how you operate and exist within your story, we can explore how to grow into the life you want to live.

Throughout my education, I have done extensive research on development of self throughout time. I often incorporate mindfulness, value reflections and SFBT interventions to assist individuals with problems associated with self development.

Personal growth is such a broad topic, but I have often noticed it includes skill-building, insight development, and exploration. Whether your are looking to delve deeper into one of these areas or go a different direction, make sure you work with someone you can trust and connect with. Please check out my profile to see if I might be that person.

My personal and professional life reflects a deep commitment to learning and growth. I believe our fears, habits of mind, and our history can keep us prisoners of the past and future. My training in attachment theory, family of origin theory and practice , meditation, focusing, and embodied life give me the tools and help I need to help you.

If you are looking to increase your insight and become more real, more present in your life, we might be a good fit for each other. I'm passionate about growth work! I have focused much of my individual counseling work on introspection and meaning-making, supporting clients who are not just seeking symptom relief, but seeking to thrive.

Much of our personal growth is limited by our conditioning / templates that we have created or that were created for us. To reach our potential, we need to examine the conditioning / templates and break free from them.

I work with clients to increase awareness through processing life experiences that gives and allows space to finding connection between the mental, emotional, and physical self to reveal your own personal growth potential, and put it into practice.

This is a vital part of counseling to feel like you are growing in ways that are helpful. I can offer specific activities and exercises to do outside of the session to help make the change that is needed.

Therapy isn’t solely for those in crisis or pain. If you feel a pull to expand, to transform, to grow, we can work together to explore the opportunities ahead of you. I have trained in a variety of treatment orientations related to personal growth. Be it behavioral, spiritual, or mental growth you are seeking, we will work together to identify blocks to growth and to expand possibilities.

Sometimes, we just feel stuck. What if we \'checked all the boxes\' and still don\'t feel happy or fulfilled? What if we didn\'t. There are various life events - birthdays, marriages, birth of a child, layoffs, death of a parent, divorce - that can make us pause and reflect, \'What now?\' Therapy can help us discover our answers.

Within every one of us is a story of anguish, perseverance, and confidence that arises from heart-wrenching dilemmas. It's important that we face challenges that lead to growth and reflect on the changes that will lead to a more fulfilling life. Viktor Frankl said it best, “When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.”

I support my clients in identifying personal changes they would like to make and developing strategies to work towards goals. I assist clients in identifying their core values and living a life consistent with those values.

I often work with clients who want to get more out of life, but are unsure how to move forward. Personal growth counseling can help you grow your own self-perception, which impacts how you relate to yourself and others. I utilize a relational approach to help guide reflection and inquiry in the therapy room, and ask the questions to get you closer to a life that feels fulfilling and meaningful.

Much of my work around career counseling also speaks to personal growth, and this is related specifically to my E-H orientation.

Being human is a process that requires gentle, loving kindness. If you want to know the best version of yourself, be courageous enough to go inward and feel the whole you with compassion.

I have both the training and clinical experience to treat issues related to personal growth, including academic pursuits, career goals, spirituality, identity development, separation/individuation, and mindfulness-based practices.

Many people come to me for help managing symptoms, but our work often eventually transforms into helping people not only survive life, but thrive. I invite reflection on the finite reality of life and the importance of identifying what\'s important to you to feel like you have lived it well.

Personal growth is a lifelong process unique to each individual. We will explore and delve into your values, attachments, desires and aversions to unearth thinking and behavior patters which inhibit your growth. Tapping intuitive self knowledge can generate insights and awareness to live with presence and increased balance as you determine your path.

Many of us have things we would like to see improve in our lives. Each of us have a different starting point and seeing growth in our lives is a very individual process. We may use a wide range of techniques to help you live and age well focusing on achieving a state of fulfillment.

I support you in creating goals that re-connect you with what fulfills you, and in choosing actions that allow you to realize them.

Does your life seem unrecognizable and you are wondering how you got here? Do things that once made you happy, have no impact on you at all anymore? It is time to really look at your life and find yourself again. I work with clients to do just that. Find the YOU that you lost and create a life that is fulfilled.

I believe that with healing and processing challenges comes personal growth. My practice is about being able to grow and find your true you. This comes when one is able to see a light at the end of the tunnel and when one can see all the progress they have made at healing and overcoming issues that have stalled them.

Stagnation can occur in any sphere of life: social, marital, spiritual, career, or otherwise. Counseling can help rejuvenate these areas and bring greater satisfaction and fulfillment.

Do you desire a deeper sense of pleasure in your life? It can feel risky, even scary, to acknowledge that you want to experience more joy, connection, and awareness. During therapy, you have the opportunity to learn more about who you are, your relationship to yourself and others, and to create healthy changes. You are incredibly brave for choosing to pursue a more spectacular life.

I have worked with many individuals on ways to nourish their inner development and learn to listen to their callings in life. For this work, I draw from my experiences in the wilderness and with the Animas Valley Institute. I believe that if we learn to hear who we really, really are, that so much in life become clear and simple in this complex web we live in today.

Join me!

We live balancing our emotions, finances, spirituality, work struggles, home life and social relationships, if one area of our life is out of balance other areas may suffer. Using art therapy I am able to help clients look at these eight dimensions of wellness to find some balance, often while employing creative mindfulness and art journaling.

I use everything from meditation to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people get centered and stay that way. Once you are working from your higher self it\'s easier to make changes that you want. I love the idea of transformation and can help you become the you, you are meant to be.

For lasting impact, I have found the foundation of personal growth must be the fostering of a deep sense of worthiness exactly as one is. Although a commonly-held belief, self-judgment and self-criticism do not motivate us to do better; they keep us stuck in the very patterns we seek to avoid. Only when we learn to let go of unhelpful narratives about who we are can we realize our full potential.

Who am I? Where is my life headed? What does it all mean? These are questions we're sometimes able to keep out, but there are times they bubble to the surface. When that happens, let's work on figuring out what your values are, what you want from the future, and how to get there.

As a Personal Growth Specialist, I view the human condition as a giant opportunity to keep expanding awareness and exercising creativity to meet challenges. Journaling, collaging, dreamwork, I Ching, as well as targeted tools like CBT exercises can be utilized to open minds and break up outworn thought patterns. A personal growth approach can make even the most difficult times more meaningful.

Not everyone who seeks therapy is in a state of crisis or pain. Personal growth and the desire to live a life of purpose, happiness and connection are equally valid pursuits in therapy. A non-pathological approach to growth and change is a powerful and affirming path. My training in the Recreation of Self Model has provided me with a lens and an approach to working with growth and I love doing so!

I'd love the opportunity to be your counselor, as we collaborate to help achieve a fuller, more satisfying, rich and purposeful life ahead.

Or maybe you know what you want but have yet to make it real in your life. There is a reason change is hard. I look forward to sharing what I know and asking you the important questions that will stimulate change and growth.
