I help people improve, tolerate, and regulate their emotions, guide them to understand what they could do to achieve better interpersonal relationships, help them notice and identify activation patterns in their body, encourage them to build resilience for the resulting positive expansive experience, and support the development of natural and effective boundaries. Said another way, I give people the time, attention, and space to find what makes them happier and break free of unconscious schemes that get in the way of what they want. Show less
