...want there to be triangulation between what the family can know and have documented for the unity of perspective in occurrence for every session. This is what I consider respect, to protect families from confusion over students' gains.

Although I have expert skills, the point is not for me to flex my prowess but to help you, the student, cultivate your own capacities for self-trust and independence as a learner. Outside of academia, I love to explore my nightly dreams, keep a journal, listen to podcasts, cook tasty meals and bake bread, and raise backyard chickens....
