Live from the Heart
of Your Self
To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson
To Being Whole and True in Yourself
When you don’t fit social norms somehow, seeking help for common human problems or issues can take a toll on your self-worth and dignity. If you don’t conform in ways society expects and often demands, you are more vulnerable to being stigmatized, rejected or discounted even by those who are in professional positions to offer you care.
You deserve to be seen, heard, and accepted, and you can feel secure in yourself everywhere you find yourself.
You're a nontraditional, creative adult in the second half of life and find yourself overwhelmed with anxiety, insecurity or grief from a difficult transition or loss, or in repeating patterns of relationship conflict and dissatisfaction, or you keep getting caught in negative cycles of emotions that seem to have a life of their own.
You long to feel more grounded, clear, and balanced, to know all the parts of you that make up who you are, to discover and integrate them. You value personal and spiritual growth and trust that a symbolic, creative life including your dreamworld can lead to a meaningful sense of wholeness.
The longer we live, the more life confronts us with opportunities to face our yet unmet potential to be whole, authentic expressions of Self. I celebrate your courage to move toward personal growth. I offer a wholehearted hand in this journey.
I am excited and honored to join you as you explore mindful self-discovery, transformation, deeper love and connection in relationship, spiritual curiosity and meaning, and whole-hearted wellness. Psychotherapy and/or Dreamwork with a trusted, competent guide provides the ground and compass for increased acceptance of truth in the present moment, self-compassion, personal growth, and ever-expanding self-knowing.
In a free consultation, we can talk briefly by phone or video conference to get more acquainted. Whether you are interested in psychotherapy or dreamwork guidance, know that my primary orientation is Internal Family Systems and Depth Psychology with Jungian-based dreamwork at its core. Dreamwork guidance can be a part of the therapy process or as non-therapeutic consultation.
If you see yourself here, let’s talk; let’s see if we may be a good fit in this next chapter of your life. Email me at kathryn@trueselfcounseling.com or call/text 503-893-4318.
