Women are notorious for putting the needs of others ahead of their own. When you are helped to identify and acknowledge your needs you will have the energy and strength you need to flourish. Does the mere thought of putting yourself first make you cringe? Does the idea of admitting that you have “needs” feel selfish and indulgent? Here’s why it shouldn’t and a few ways to prioritize taking care of you.

When you practice self-care, you give others the permission to do the same. Throughout the lifespan, we continue to consolidate our identity. When you put yourself first, you are likely modeling this for others such as your daughter, your sister or a friend. When you empower yourself you experience less anger and resentment – both powerful emotions beneath the surface and not in your awareness but affecting you in a powerful way. In order to make long lasting and meaningful change you must begin to understand who you are and what you want in life. Like so many women, now is the time to reconnect to your true self and become more self-aware! This is your personal life journey, you re-write the script and discover new and different choices! By following your heart, you will tap into your innate strength and wisdom that will lead you through challenges and toward a life you love! Your life.  It’s not selfish and being selfless to the point of depletion is not a virtue, it’s self destructive. Liberate yourself and practice self-care liberally.

Life transition counseling is for those who seek the next step in their lives and are in need of support to make the transition. You will identify goals and dreams and build upon the strengths you currently possess to explore the strengths or traits needed for the next stage of your life. In all transitions, you must be willing to explore your fears, examine your expectations and self-limiting notions and imagine the possibilities. Those transitions may involve the following:

  • A career change
  • Marriage
  • Relationship building after relocation
  • Moving from married life to single life
  • Family planning
  • Childbirth
  • Parenting
  • Caring for elderly parents
  • Divorce recovery and remarriage
  • Developing a life plan
  • Redefining your life’s purpose
  • Confronting the “empty nest”
  • Deepening your experience of intimacy and satisfaction in life
  • Sexual healing
  • Achieving emotional/spiritual/intellectual balance.
