Groups are a powerful place to do personal growth work as well as build skills and confidence in navigating relationships. 
​Reaching out for a free initial phone consultation is the first step in seeing if group is right for you.

Who can benefit from groups?

• Discomfort with emotional vulnerability
• Perfectionism, self-criticism, shame
• Sense of disconnection from one's inner emotional world 
• Anxiety or Depression​

Why Group? 
​
As a group member you will have a chance to find healing in a diverse, safe-enough, and supportive community. Group therapy can be a uniquely powerful vehicle for working through interpersonal issues and deepening your sense of connectedness. Groups function as a microcosm of the real world, and give us an opportunity to try out authentic interaction with a wide range of people and receive valuable feedback in a supportive environment. ​Hearing from others who have dealt with similar issues can help us understand our own predicaments; and having an opportunity to tell our own stories can empower us to find our voice. Groups can be a transformative addition to individual therapy or an effective stand-alone treatment. 

What happens in Group Therapy? 

During a Group Therapy session, members work to express their thoughts and feelings as freely and honestly as possible. This allows members the chance to understand others at a deeper level as well as learn more about themselves by studying how they interact in the group. ​

Current Groups
Contact me to inquire about current openings. ​In an initial consultation, we will discuss if group is right for you and if so, which of my groups might be the right personality or demographic fit for your therapeutic needs.  

I currently offer both online and in-person groups with appropriate COVID precautions. 

I currently offer a:
- Majority BIPOC group- the membership of this group will always be majority self-identifying BIPOC individuals
- Majority LGBTQIA+ group- the membership of this group will always be majority self-identifying LGBTQIA+ individuals

Please let me know if you are particularly interested in one of these groups and/or an online or virtual group I can let you know about current openings.
