Personal Growth

We're living in momentous times and many people are feeling a deep internal resonance with doing their "inner work." If you heed this call, you can expect to come home to yourself and become the person that deep down you know you are. This path isn't for the faint of heart, and having traversed my own inner 'becoming' journey I would be honored to support you in navigating your own inner terrain, to come home to yourself and becoming who you were truly meant to be.

Together we will identify areas you would like to focus on for your personal journey. No matter what you are facing, it can be helpful to talk to someone who can remain objective and offer insight into what you are thinking and feeling. I can help you discover ways to over-come patterns that hold you back from being fulfilled and experiencing peace.

Working with individuals to help build insight in seeing another perspective, gain empowerment to change careers, learning to date, go through a divorce, post-divorce, have healthy positive relationships with yourself and others. Grow a business, grow into your goals, and more.

This felt like the best option for a category that isn't listed, increasing self-compassion, improving self-worth, and minimizing our responses to internalized and externalized shame. Though most of my work is focused on individuals struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns, I believe in focusing on the strength in vulnerability and moving toward living a life more consistent with our values, setting boundaries, and meeting our needs.

Perfectionism. It's the buzzing noise, the whirlwind, the undercurrent, and the vortex of negativity going on inside of your mind and your body. You want it to stop, and you want to feel better, but some days it just doesn't work out. You don't feel like you unless things are perfect. The cloud just seems to follow you around each and every corner everyday. We can show you how to calm & relax anxiety for immediate relief. We won't just stop there. We can empower your verve.

Overwhelmed with pressure to succeed, uncertain about the future, disconnected with peers/family, loss of self-identity, taking jobs because of the status/security, or loss of passion? The world we live in doesn’t always make it easy to promote self-discovery and some of that may not always be within your control. Some small changes in mindset can help you manage challenges, difficult conversations, increase self-advocacy, and obtain what you want from yourself and your life.

You are a masterpiece, created to do great things. Sometimes we forget, feel lost, become overwhelmed with anxious thoughts, become sad, get angry, and feel worthless; simply put we get stuck. We will identify what has you stuck and develop strategies to move forward. If something in your life is not working, we will work together to find solutions and to do something different that does work. Together we will work to use your strengths and God-given talents to become your best you.

I support you to actualize whatever goals you have in your life, whether it is to be more mindful in your daily life, to improve your parenting skills, to connect with the untapped artist within, whatever it might be, we can work together to discover this.

I'm interested in more than just my client's stability, although this is central to any and all personal growth. I believe therapy can be a place of expanding into and embodying one's full and complex Self. When we define our wellbeing through achievement and problem-solving alone, we miss out on encountering the edges of our current sense of self and discovering what aches to grow and become in us.

I believe as humans, we never stop growing or improving. However, sometimes it might be hard to know what to do next. We may feel stuck, not sure what to do next, or questioning if we’re doing the right thing. I love to help others recognize their strengths, and identify what their ideal life would look like. Through motivational interviewing, and using a person-centered approach to behavioral therapy, I assist clients with finding out what personal growth would look like for them.

You've reached the point in your life where you know you want things to be different, but you don't know how to get there. My goal is to work with you to start stepping into the most authentic, fulfilled version of yourself. You deserve a safe space to explore all parts of yourself that have worked until now but are starting to make life difficult. Through new insights and skills to add to your life toolbox, we will start getting you into the next chapter of your life.

Perfectionism. It's the buzzing noise, the whirlwind, the undercurrent, and the vortex of negativity going on inside of your mind and your body. You want it to stop, and you want to feel better, but some days it just doesn't work out. You don't feel like you unless things are perfect. The cloud just seems to follow you everyday around each and every corner. We can show you how to calm & relax anxiety for immediate relief. We won't just stop there. We can empower your verve.

What is therapy for if not personal growth? Maybe you don't have something specific in mind except a general curiosity about whether you could be living a more fulfilling story. I love that. Let's explore that curiosity together.

Who doesn't want to grow? We all do. What does growth mean to you? What are you seeking to get from growth? We will explore these and other ideas as you seek to make the shifts you desire.

I believe we all, as humans, are driven on some level to continually learn and improve in ways mentally, emotionally, professionally and more, over who and where we are today. This often means expanding our comfort zone, getting uncomfortable (in a good way), and taking healthy risks. By focusing in therapy not solely on what seems to be going "wrong", but also on continued growth opportunities, together we can accelerate your personal growth and help you become more the person you want to be,

Some of us spend a ton of time thinking that we're not "doing it right." Not living our lives to their fullest, not pleasing our loved ones, not making our parents proud. Whatever the issue is, we often live our lives burdened by self-judgment and self-doubt. I work with clients to re-discover their true self, and live their core values more fully. This leads to self-love, self-acceptance, and a deeper sense of satisfaction in our lives.

You have been having (insert turning to friends and loved ones for advice, consulting “Dr. Google,” listening to podcasts and reading self-help books here). Your efforts have helped you make some progress, but the results either don’t have sticking power or you haven’t been able to see the kind of progress you would like. Therapy can help you identify your obstacles and figure out new ways to MOVE them out of your way, once and for all!

I believe that getting to know ourselves is one of the most empowering things we can do. Understanding our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and why we do the things that we do provides a sense of knowing ourselves that can elicit feelings of contentment, confidence, and fulfillment.
