Therapeutic Writing Group for Trauma Survivors
The women's therapeutic writing group is for women who have had trauma histories and are interested in understanding their trauma better through the vehicle of writing. The group begins with a check-in and then we read a poem aloud which has themes evocative of trauma. There is then a free-writing period where the group members write. The heart of the group is the exploration of people's writing where group members are encouraged to respond

Seeking Safety: Trauma group for women
This group is for women with trauma histories who are just starting out in their trauma treatment. Initially, I help empower the client to regain control, help them identify cues of who, what and where are safe, and teach coping skills. Later stages are remembrance, mourning, and reconnection. The therapist is both "witness and ally" and I help the client face the devastation inflicted by the trauma and/or substance use. I then support the client's efforts to create a new life. to their own inner traumas through their responses to others' as well as their own work.
