This group is for individuals who grew up in families with addiction or dysfunction. The group focuses on helping members gain insight into ways their growing up years negatively affected relationships and choices later in life. We use a combination of psycho-education by briefly reading from various materials, including the Big Red Book of ACOA, the Laundry List and the Inner Parent Loving Guidebook. Members also share ways in which they see ACOA traits showing up in their own lives today and explore ways to change maladaptive behaviors and responses to stressors.

If you are struggling in a relationship, this is a group for men who listen to each other and give supportive feedback to help each member make needed changes in themselves. Sometimes, individuals get into romantic relationships where they feel like they are experiencing negative dynamics in their relationship that they witnessed in their family of origin. At times, we find we feel 'stuck' in a relationship or at worst, abused. For men in particular, this is a difficult situation. We meet virtually every other week for one hour. Contact me if you're interested in learning more.

In both my practice and personal life, I have witnessed many gay men struggling sustaining intimate relationships. Often times, I have seen individuals showing signs of CPTSD when it comes to taking action that could lead to a mutual loving and supportive relationship. In this group, I seek to help members learn from each other through sharing their own experiences. The goal is to help each person get in touch with beliefs, thoughts, judgments and feelings that repeatedly make it harder to find and sustain a partner in life.
