Personal Growth and Relationship Counseling

Strategies and tips for individuals and couples seeking to improve their personal and relational dynamics

Are you a smart, sensitive person eager for self-improvement?

Looking to have personal growth for the sake of yourself and your relatives?

Have you realized that the brute force cognitive or physical acumen is not enough to make the changes you seek?

Time to get into your wisdom.

Wisdom is a mixture of your capacity to reason with your capacity for emotion combined with intuition and body awareness. 

Wisdom may be seen as settling into your most adult self in the service of your development.  Being in your most adult self is not a copout, fakeout or admittance that life is boring.  It may be the best option for you to make headway in personal and relational growth.  

Consider times when you feel available, comfortable, and authentic.  Are you connected to your wisdom?  When you don’t feel authentic, comfortable and available, do high emotions or hyper-rationality interfere with your effectiveness?  Perhaps.  

If you seek to improve your relationships, you may need to change yourself  Through therapy, learn to be in your wisdom and expand your awareness of yourself, others, and your environment.  Doing so may be a sustainable way to meet near- and long-term goals.

These actions in support of and with your wisdom can help lead to happiness, goodwill, and personal and relational satisfaction.
