Relational awareness
Bring More Awareness to the Way You Relate.
Feelings & sensations
Noticing emotions and bodily sensations as they arise.
Stories & assumptions
Recognizing the stories and assumptions we make about others.
Wants & boundaries
Identifying wants, needs, preferences, and boundaries.
Behavior vs. meaning
Distinguishing what we observe from the meaning we assign to it.
Habitual reactions
Exploring our habitual reactions with curiosity.
Honest communication
Speaking more honestly and listening with greater presence.
Holding interpretations lightly
Being curious about our experience without assuming it's the whole truth.
Authentic Relating & presence
Practices for being real with each other
Authentic Relating and relational presence are practices that support curiosity, honesty, connection, and self-awareness. Rather than following a script, we slow down and attend to what's actually happening — inside us and in the space between us.
As part of my broader work under Relating Arts, I also facilitate group-based relational awareness practices, including T-groups. The awareness built in these spaces often informs one-on-one work, too: how we relate to ourselves shapes how we relate to others.

Curious whether this work is a fit?
A free Curiosity Call is a relaxed introductory conversation — a chance to meet me, ask questions, and explore whether working together feels right. It isn't a full session or a therapy appointment. You'll find the current details on the booking page.
