"I want to help you lead the life you want. A full, rich life requires feeling and accepting the full range of emotions, from euphoria to grief, without getting stuck. When we shut ourselves off from one feeling, it shuts down the others. When we get stuck in one feeling, we cannot live fully. I want to help you live a resilient, joyful life by helping you access and accept all your feelings. I do this by providing a non-judgmental space, in which you can experience yourself fully and with empathic acceptance."
