Helping People Blossom

• http://elizabethrightor.com

Anais Nin once said, "There came a time when the risk to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." I've always found this quote to be inspiring. It also underscores my belief that each of us has within ourselves the potential for self-actualization and that change and growth are available to us all; we simply have to be willing for the process to unfold.

I am here to tell you that you can create the life that you want.

I will help you get there.

I have a private practice in Madison Park, where I see individuals, couples, and families. I specialize in working with couples and with women who are struggling to live their best life. So many people today suffer from anxiety and depression or have limiting beliefs that hold them back from living the life they wholeheartedly desire. I guide others on their journeys and help them see the answers within themselves.

When someone asks me what I do, the answer that comes to me is simply, "I help people blossom." For me, that means that I help people reach for something that they most likely see outside of themselves, whether that is a calm and relaxed state of mind, a healthy relationship, or the feeling of greater confidence and self-esteem.

My clients use different words for this. Some say that they feel empowered, as if their lives have opened up. Some say that they feel more passion for their work and are able to be in relationship with others in a new way. Others say that they feel more themselves, more comfortable in their skin and free to pursue what they really desire.

What is common with many of my clients is that they are able to make lasting changes in the areas of their lives that matter most to them; they are able to do things that they previously did not see as possible.

In truth, I believe that what I do is help people tap into their greater selves.

It is you, the client, who makes the changes, aligning yourself with your vision and personal desires for a fulfilling, rewarding life. That means different things for everyone.

I am there to encourage you, listen, offer guidance, and draw out the strength, gifts, and wonder you have inside.

Couples who are crazy in love, but who are fighting or having difficulty communicating. Sound familiar? Research shows that couples seek professional help on average six years after they begin having problems. Sadly, it is often too late.

The good news is that seeking help now can help you turn things around. I am passionate about helping couples renew their passion, improve communication, and achieve greater fulfillment in their relationships. Give me a call today to see if it's a good fit.
