Linda Rolufs
Masters Degree in Counseling Psychology
True freedom is found in knowing your true self.
BIOGRAPHY
Humans are meant for greatness and as a therapist of 20 years, I’ve seen this from the inside out. I’ve had the privilege to be with people as they tell me things, they have never told anyone. I’ve learned what motivates us and what holds us back.
As your life designer, we won’t be doing therapy, but you’ll have access to all my knowledge as a therapist. I will partner with you to
• Recognize obstacles and eliminate them at their core
• Design a plan based on awareness of your goals, values and the realities of your life right now
• Implement strategies that create momentum, clarity, freedom, and purpose and set you firmly on the path of excellence.
Like everyone else, my life didn’t unfold the way I expected. I’ve had to get through some things that I never thought I’d survive. But I did survive and then learned to thrive. I know what it’s like to keep going and hold on to yourself when so much of life is unpredictable.
So I will meet you with 100% acceptance of who you are and where you are, right here, right now and at the same time provide ongoing challenge, empowering you to take the life-changing risks that move you quickly toward the life you want.
