In-person
Group Therapy
Experiential, relational therapy groups offer shared exploration, growth, and healing. In this unique social environment, one may reflect honestly on their community skills and change unhelpful patterns. Participants give and receive witnessing, care, and attunement. Issues of isolation and loneliness, anxiety, depression, grief, and transformation are deeply met in group work. Groups are significantly more affordable than individual therapy.

Experiential groups offer us a unique opportunity to hold and be held in our process within a growth and healing oriented community. Group members form a circle in which they mirror, play, experiment, enact, and care for one another. Group work is a rare and sacred opportunity to transcend the individual and feel into collective healing. For this reason, process groups are profound tools for healing isolation, working through issues of trust, and building skills that lead to a life of connection and right relationship. Intake sessions required before admittance to group. Rolling admission means you can join anytime there is space open in the group.​ Group is capped at eight participants.

This is an embodied and relational processing group for trans and genderqueer individuals. This group is a long-form therapy oriented to creating strong relationships where we can mirror, play, experiment, enact, and care for one another from a place of similar understanding as genderqueer individuals. We do process topics related to gender, but the topic is open and individuals can bring whatever it is they are working on. This group is fundamentally somatic, experiential, and relational, using the here-and-now to support access to deep transformation.

Group Therapy FAQ
What is the time commitment? For you and the group, I request that you only join if you can stay for at least 3 months and attend weekly (except vacations or sick days). It takes about 3 months to feel into the rhythm of group work and get into the dynamic. Most group members stay for up to a year and some stay for much longer. You are welcome to stay as long as the group continues to benefit you and your goals.
Can I drop in to try it? Unfortunately, no. These groups are carefully held, closed community spaces and are not open for observation or drop in participation. This preserves the group's sense of safety and trust, both of which are very important to this type of work. However, I do occasionally host demo events to introduce folks curious but unsure about group work. Sign up for my mailing list below to be notified about these events.
What if I'm anxious to join a group? Most people who join a group come in with anxiety. Groups are designed to help you through those feelings of anxiety and fear in a safer environment. Many people worry they will not be liked, they will take up too much space (or not enough), that they will dislike others, or that they will be bored. In group, we work openly with these concerns to support a sense of safety, belonging, and compassion to self and others within the group and within all other areas of your life.
What are benefits of group? Group work prepares you to bring your healing into action and relationship. Through your work with group members you will: Learn to attune to yourself and others, Practice giving the care that is asked of you and asking for the care you want, Be accompanied in rites, rituals, and ceremonies that bring meaning to life, Practice boundaries and healthy conflict, Improve your ability to be seen and witnessed, Play! Feel viscerally that you are not alone and that you do belong.
Accessibility Groups are held in my office which is over a gravel path and up a short ramp. There is a bathroom up two steps and water/tea. My current illness policy is as follows: - I recommend all participants get vaccinations to the best of their ability. I understand it is not possible for everyone to participate in vaccination. - I do not require masks, but you may choose to wear a mask. - I request that group participants please stay home if they feel they may be sick and at risk of being contagious to others. My groups involve some amount of standing and movement as part of the therapy. All invitations to movement can be modified to fit your body's needs.
Is group for everyone? There are many modalities of group therapy, just as there are many modalities of individual therapy. The modality of group therapy I practice is best suited for individuals who can safely learn from the wisdom of dysregulation without relying on harmful coping strategies such as active addiction, eating disorders, self-harm, suicidality, etc. Candidates for my groups have been to therapy previously or are currently in therapy.
