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.

I work with many aspects of personal growth, including: addressing fears that hold you back, transforming limiting beliefs, gaining control over unwanted feelings, and creating more empowering habits and thought patterns.

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.

Working towards personal growth and wellness is an excellent reason to enter into therapy. Often times we get so busy in our daily lives, that we forget to put aside time to explore these important themes. I support people in identifying and exploring their own strengths, values and spiritual beliefs in order to live full and healthy lives. This process can begin at any time and at any age.

Using the principles of Ayurvedic psychology can assist in maintaining mental and emotional balance and well-being through understanding your unique psychological constitution in the context of your environment, as well as strengthening your ability to digest and integrate your life experiences. \n

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 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.

My practice focuses on helping you understand yourself better. 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.

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.

It is my pleasure to work with individuals on personal growth through self-awareness, acceptance and a commitment to their unique gifts and personality. Using client-centered, solution-focused therapy in conjunction with my unique use of breathwork, mindfulness and contemplation of life patterns and results, I will help you transform your relationship with yourself.

As humans, we have the potential for healing and growth throughout the lifespan. I\'d like to help you reach your full potential, and integrate all the parts of who you are.

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.

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 believe everyone has an inner drive to become a better version of themselves, but maladaptive patterns prevent us from growing. I am trained in using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to help address negative thinking, maladaptive behaviors, and open the path to healing. \'Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom\'-Aristotle

My beloved Hospice patients taught me so much over the years about what is important in the end. People generally want to feel that they lived their life fully with satisfying relationships and meaning. Poet Mary Oliver once wrote, \'Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?\' I have committed to living fully in my own life and would love to support you to do the same.

What task is greater than personal growth while in the adolescent & young adult phases of life? It emerges quite naturally as a focus during all my work with young people. Identity exploration, awareness of values and needs, and imagination are all cultivated as therapeutic pathways towards becoming more oneself!

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!

Many of us have things we would like to see improve in our lives, like moving beyond survival or recovery to finding our personal best. 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 work with clients seeking to get more out of life, whether in romantic, family or friend relationships, or in their career. I compassionately reflect what is most important to you and help you to prioritize how to reach your goals in ways that create deeper meaning and satisfaction with less noise. I am engaged and interested in my clients and enjoy empowering others to reach their potential.

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.

When you work with a therapist to address your own growth, you will find your relationships are strengthened, you have more clarity about your professional goals, and you have a deeper understanding of yourself. Therapy will support you on your journey of growth, and I would be honored to join you.

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.

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.

I often work with adults and couples who need a \'tune up\', want to understand themselves better, or who are looking to change their life completely. Whether it\'s getting back on track or making a major life change, my goal-driven and creative background allows me to assist people to learn the skills they need to develop and maintain their new path.

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 enjoy working with adults undergoing life transitions, whether it be personal, professional, social or spiritual. We examine value systems and explore whether they match up with action.

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.

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.

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.

It is my pleasure to assist those who want to focus on how to maximize the results they want in their lives, either personally or professionally.

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.

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!

In a way, we could say that we are not \'nouns\' but rather \'verbs\'; we are an unfolding process motivated by an inner drive that seeks to maximize our human potential

We are perpetually healing, growing and learning, but sometimes the process gets stuck. How many times have you said to yourself, 'There's got to be more to life than this?' 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.

I believe everyone can benefit from therapy. Self-study can illuminate patterns of behavior and thinking that have been holding you back from a more satisfying life. I believe that you can transform the beliefs that have limited your internal experience and your relationships and you can learn more fulfilling ways of interacting with the world.

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

My first therapist told me that our only real obligation as individuals is to work our hardest to realize our potential. I believe that this work of discovering our Self is a actually an adventure of mythic proportions. Healing, wholing and discovering our innate and unique Self is an exciting and empowering journey!

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.

Personal growth is a term that encompasses something unique for every person. A fundamental assumption of depth psychology is that the psyche tends toward expression and vitality throughout the life-span, and coming to therapy for something along the lines of 'personal growth' may be a good sign that a part of your personality is ready to be lived more fully.

It\'s said that \'if you aren\'t growing, you are dying\'. Making changes in our lives and seeking more for ourselves in meaningful ways is necessary yet sadly too rare. It seems society and mainstream culture want us to accept distraction and hollow connection in place of genuine experience. Strive for more and learn ways to define your value, meaning, and the path to more from your life.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Therapy is a great place to learn about the patterns you’ve developed (cognitive/behavioral/emotional/relational patterns), explore what has contributed to the development of these patterns, and work to change patterns that aren’t working for you anymore.

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.

Integral psychotherapy takes in to account the personal, social, and environmental factors that contribute to sustainable personal growth. I also utilize Enneagram Personality resources to help harmonize an individual's clinical work with the unique dynamics of their sense of self.

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 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.

The opportunity for personal growth never ends and can come to us because we feel we are stagnating, through an experience of loss, or through inspiration.
