Group Therapy
I am passionate about group therapy because it has the ability to heal in a profound and unique way by getting to the core of one of the most important human needs. In fact, I believe it is the deepest inherent need we have. That is to be loved for who we truly are and to experience belonging to a group of others who see who we really are and love us for it. The kind of groups I do provide the space for people to take off the masks that hide their truest selves and experience that kind of love and belonging as well as the powerful experience of being witnessed by others. It is a microcosm of healing that can translate powerfully into the lives of clients.
This is the heart and primary goal of all of my groups, which guides and underpins the process. In addition to that, each group has a different content focus and are described below. Each group is $80 a session with groups being a variety of lengths typically ranging from 8 to 12 weeks. Payment can either be done in full (discount available for this option) or paid weekly. Sessions are 2 hours each and groups meet weekly. Members are screened carefully to ensure safety and group cohesion, therefore an application process, which includes a free group screening, is required before admission and admission is not guaranteed.

Dream Group
Dream group is an exciting journey into the unconscious through dream analysis. Members of this group will get to know one another deeply and will learn a model of dream analysis with which they will use to decipher the messages of their own and each other's unconsciouses. The potential for growth in self-awareness and connection is immeasurable.
This group will be 12 weeks long. The fall group will begin in early September and run through the beginning of December allowing for a week off for Thanksgiving. It will be from 6-8 pm each week at my office located at 1800 E 3rd Ave, Suite 106. The day of the week is yet to be determined.
Religious Deconstruction Group
This is a group for those who have been through what has come to be known as a “desconstruction” process and are trying to understand what they have gone through. It is also a group for those who went through what could be considered religious trauma due to growing up in a religious environment that dogmatically outlined everything from the concept of self, to behavior, to the purpose of life; preventing the natural and mindful development of a true sense of self and the internal gauge and guide for living an authentic, healthy life that comes with that. This will be an intimate and compassionate space to process the pain of growing up in that kind of environment, discuss the effects of that kind of experience, and work to connect to our truest selves and the truest selves of each other to move forward in more freedom and peace.
This group will be 8 weeks in duration. It will begin in early September (exact date tbd) and run through October. It will be from 6-8 pm weekly, day of the week also yet to be determined. It will be held in my office located at 1800 E 3rd Ave, Suite 106.
Relationship Group
This group will be for those who are dating and confused, healing from the loss of relationship, or preparing to date. Basically anyone who desires a healthy romantic relationship but isn’t sure where to start, what to look for, or how to do healthy relationship. There is so much to learn! And most of us enter into relationships with no idea what we are doing. We will talk about things like Attachment Theory and how it impacts our search for love, the psychology of attraction, basic guidelines for what not to do in relationships, and much more. It will also be a deep process group where members can explore their relational histories, wounds, and patterns in a safe and supportive space. It will be a place to pause, learn, and heal in preparation for future relationships.
This group will be 12 weeks long. The fall group will begin in early September and run through the beginning of December allowing for a week off for Thanksgiving. It will be from 6-8 pm each week at my office located at 1800 E 3rd Ave, Suite 106. The day of the week is yet to be determined.
