Group therapy for high-functioning, emotionally aware professionals navigating attachment/relationship dynamics & life transitions. Group helps you find deeper meaning & belonging through the practice of authenticity: "letting go of who we think we're supposed to be and embracing who we are" (Brené Brown). Group helps you bring your full authentic self into connection to transcend loneliness & find more fulfilling relationships. Group helps you lean into your life with more courage, compassion & vulnerability. Group can support your journey as you find your way home to where you belong, and to the relationships that sustain you.
Beginning Group means joining a supportive therapeutic community to practice emotional honesty & relational mindfulness. My Therapy Groups integrate specialized attachment/trauma/psychodynamic training, DBT & CBT with relational, existential & spiritual traditions. Group offers a social laboratory to learn about how you impact others & how others impact you.
You're not alone. Group can connect you with supportive fellow travelers who accompany you on your journey as you heal wounds, find where you belong & cultivate authentic relationships. You deserve more meaning & love in your life. Are you ready to realize your vision for relationships that nurture and enliven you? If so, I look forward to hearing from you.
