“Am I on the right path? Why does everyone have it together? What can I do now?” Adulthood opens a brand new chapter, bringing you to greater heights. Adulthood also brings new challenges of uncertainty, expectations, and responsibility. These worries can leave people feeling isolated or lost on their path. Grounded and Growing offers you a landing spot, a supportive space to talk openly about the realities of adulthood. We’re here to process and connect with others who are navigating very similar challenges. If you feel stuck in the “in-between” right now, this can be your outlet.

If you are interested in exploring ongoing patterns of unhealthy relationship dynamics by addressing family of origin issues in order to become more psychologically flexible and resilient, you are welcome. Be warned, this work is not easy. It will be challenging and will require you to access courage that you probably have yet to access. Ambivalence is okay, but curiosity about your experiences and the experiences of others is necessary.

IFS is very effective for connecting with and unburdening the parts of us that we have isolated due to feelings of anxiety, abandonment and shame.

I work with individuals and couples who find themselves stuck in patterns shaped by love, loss, and feelings of inadequacy— often showing up as anxiety, fear of abandonment, panic, intrusive thoughts, communication and intimacy struggles, or grief rooted in chronic illness, pain, and losses that are not recognized by society: the parent or family you didn't have, or dream that never came to be.

If you notice similar relationship dynamics showing up again and again, this group is for you. My colleague and I developed this program based on our clinical work and training, including at the University of Pennsylvania. This group is for adults in their 40s who are single, dating, or going through a breakup or divorce and want to build healthier relationships. This is an 8-week closed group, meaning the same participants attend each session, so a commitment to all sessions is important. You’ll learn to understand your attachment patterns, recognize your needs, set boundaries, and communicate more clearly
