With 10+ years of experience, I work with clients with a variety of mental health needs. I work with children as young as 3 in play-based therapy, addressing anxiety, behavioral issues, parenting needs and familial transitions. I also work with couples exploring pre-marital counseling, marriage counseling, separation/divorce or co-parenting. I work with teens struggling with anxiety or depression as they navigate the realms of social media and pressures of GenZ. I also see many adult clients 1:1 who just need extra support in this season of life: whether from work stressors or family conflict or just wanting better mental wellness.

Maybe I'm biased, but it seems like life is especially hard on my clients. Typically, clients who are individuals, couples, and groups of people dealing with anxiety, trauma, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and vocational issues benefit from treatment. Everyday people like you live healthier, more satisfying lives in spite of all that life throws at them by coming to counseling and putting in the work.
This group can help those who feel isolated and ashamed of their disordered eating. At HHC, we believe healing can happen while being in a safe space with caring people. After a time in individual therapy, many clients are ready to enter a small group where they feel comfortable and can grow with the other group members. Through consistent and compassionate connection, there is often an emerging of awareness, vitality, joy, creativity, and co-creativity. This healing journey can help you become a more joyful presence in the world where you can give the gifts you were born to give — thus creating a meaningful life.

I know how it feels to contemplate going to therapy, and I always found it both scary and intimidating. That’s why I aim to make the process as relaxed and down-to-earth as possible. I show up to sessions as my authentic self, and I want you to do the same. As a person-centered and affirming therapist, I believe that we all deserve self-love, healthy and fulfilling relationships, and a life of purpose and joy. I believe that we can heal from past traumas, find our own power, and experience alignment in mind, body, and spirit. The work isn't easy, but I bring humor and humanity into it, and I value the therapeutic relationship.

This fall the Partner Trauma group will be going through the workbook Unleashing Your Power: Moving Through the Trauma of Partner Betrayal by Carol Juergensen and Christine Turo-Shields. “The purpose of the book is to help betrayed partners find themselves again after their relationship has been shattered by sexual betrayal. The book provides exercises to do the hard work of facing your anger, grief, and mourning for what you thought you had, what you didn’t have, and what you fear you will never have again.”

Whether you’re married, dating, or divorced, relationships are hard- especially when some sort of partner betrayal has occurred. You can love someone with all your heart and somehow still feel disconnected. As human beings, we all have a desire to be fully known and fully accepted. When we feel like the person we love the most doesn’t understand us, it hurts. We can be left feeling undervalued, not enough, and possibly even hopeless. When we have these negative emotions it can be easy to feel critical of each other.
Sobriety is critical to developing healthy sexuality, but ceasing the behavior is not enough to stay in recovery. Sexual acting out behavior is only a symptom of the core issues fueling the addiction. True recovery is achieved through acquiring the necessary coping skills to deal with difficult situations and emotions. Clients attending this group learn how to recognize multiple addictions, how to make decisions that suit their individual needs, and how to live an optimal life.

FAQs - About Group Therapy and Support Groups
How can I find a support group in 70808?
Search for nearby support groups by inputting your city, zip code, or the name of the group into the search bar. From there, you can filter to find a group that suits your needs, whether you are looking for support for a teenager, a group that focuses on a specific issue, such as depression, or a particular program type, such as one geared toward developing social skills. To navigate between locations within the same country, enter a new city or zip code into the search bar.
How does group therapy work?
Therapy groups are led by one or more therapists and serve to help people process their experiences and learn from others who understand their challenges firsthand. They can be based on a specific issue, such as addiction, grief, physical illnesses, parenting, and caregiving. They can involve a specific type of program or therapy, such as a social skills group or CBT group. They can also be specific to a particular population or community, such as teens or LGBTQ.
Support groups, like Alcoholics Anonymous, also focus on a specific issue, but are typically led by members with lived experiences and are less structured than therapy groups. Most therapy groups will meet for a fixed length of time with a consistent group of members, while many support groups meet for an indefinite period of time with members coming and going.

What are the benefits of group therapy?
Support groups help connect people with shared challenges or physical and mental health conditions. In a group setting, participants can receive support and feedback from peers and can acquire new skills, strategies and perspectives by listening to one another. Discussing your experience with someone who also has a cancer diagnosis, or whose son also struggles with addiction, for example, can help you feel less alone, reduce distress, find empathy and connection, and learn practical or medical information that has helped others. Group therapy can also be a more affordable option than individual therapy and just as effective.
Is group therapy as effective as individual therapy?
Support groups can be deeply valuable for both emotional support and/or treatment outcomes. It’s difficult to make a blanket statement on efficacy due to the many different types of support groups and conditions treated, but group therapy has been found to be just as effective as individual therapy in establishing long-term abstinence for conditions such as substance abuse, addiction and alcohol abuse.
How much does group therapy cost?
Group counseling is typically less expensive than individual counseling, with each session costing on average between $60 to $75. Meanwhile, individual therapy sessions can run anywhere from $100 to $200 and up, even after insurance. It is possible to find low-cost group therapy options and many therapists offer group sessions free of charge.
Does insurance cover group therapy?
As with individual therapy, many insurance companies do offer coverage for group therapy sessions. However, the coverage varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider. Individuals are encouraged to check with their insurance providers to verify coverage.
How long does group therapy last?
The length of a support group session is often one hour but can fall anywhere between 45 minutes and two hours. The amount of time that people remain in a support group varies based on their specific needs and goals and the type of therapy. Some individuals may seek a shorter-term group, such as a bereavement group, that may last between six and 20 weeks. Some may seek a longer-term group that lasts for a year or indefinitely.
What are the limitations of support groups?
Support groups have many benefits, but there are a few limitations as well. Support groups do not constitute formal therapeutic or medical treatment, and are not run by licensed mental health professionals, so some people may opt for group therapy or individual therapy instead. Additionally, support groups can depend on the other participants, so a disruptive individual has the potential to mar the group dynamic, and the anecdotal information shared may sometimes be unhelpful or inaccurate. Because it is a group setting, confidentiality can be more difficult to guard and participants receive less personalized attention than they would in an individual therapy session.
