Mind/Body Strength Training seeks to help folks manage their mental wellbeing while also incorporating strength building physical activities. With everything that is going on in this country, it's more important for folks from historically oppressed communities to feel strong of mind and body. Therefore I'm currently opening this group to people who identify as a BIPOC woman, AFAB, trans, or nonbinary individual. Each week we will meet virtually for group talk therapy and afterwards you will be led through a strength training session with a certified fitness instructor.

I will soon be starting a single parent support group to help parents work through the stress of handling parenthood without a partner. The goal is to help the parents cope with stress by knowing that this road does not have to be walked entirely alone. Sometimes we learn from others while we learn to help ourselves to navigate the ups and downs of single parenthood to provide our best to the children.

Our LGBTQ+ Support Group is an affirming place for teens to explore gender identify, sexual orientation or gender expression without fear of rejection or judgement. Teens in this community who experience depression or anxiety have at some point experienced bullying, teasing and rejection, and likely feel like they do not belong to any group. They may not only have increased negative emotions, lower self-esteem and hopelessness, but also could experience an increase in suicidal thoughts and self-harming behaviors. Here, your teen is accepted and affirmed and is embraced as they explore their true strengths and gifts.
