Is a big part of your daily stress the never-ending household tasks on your to-do list? Do you find shame creeping in when the laundry heap you swore you'd sort through grows? In this group, we will both unpack where our beliefs around cleanliness and mess come from while also build practical solutions that actually work (ADHD-friendly!). Each week we will read from How to Keep House While Drowning by KC Davis and work to challenge our ideas of "perfect" while also building strategies to feel more in control of our to-do lists.

I created this group for survivors of domestic violence, narcissistic abuse, and other harmful relationship trauma who want to start healing. Each 60-minute session combines emotional processing with psychoeducation, so you're not just talking about what happened, you're building understanding and tools to move through it. You never have to share until you are ready. I'm here to honor your pace (no demands to leave), encourage connection with other survivors, and support you as you heal and grow. (Every 1st and 3rd Saturday of the month)
