Welcome. Let's begin. You are taking an important step toward a more meaningful life. As your group therapist, I create empathic, safe therapeutic spaces for you to clarify your life priorities & purpose, heal, grow, bring about lasting change & feel less lonely. Through our work together, you will foster greater authenticity and psychological and spiritual resilience as you navigate life choices, transitions & stressors. I will guide you toward more fulfilling relationships with yourself & others. Ultimately, you will feel more hopeful, empowered & free. I can help you create the life you want to be living.
I listen closely to you. We work together to understand your unique needs. My integrative, strengths-based, trauma-informed approach draws from relational, psychodynamic, existential, attachment & humanistic traditions. I incorporate DBT, CBT, ACT, mindfulness, IFS, Gestalt & trauma work. I provide group therapy, often combined with individual sessions.
Welcome to this next part of your journey. You don't have to do this alone. Your fellow group therapy travelers & I will accompany you as you transcend wounds & transform your existence to claim more meaning & authentic connection. Are you ready to realize your vision for who you want to be and how you want to live? If so, I look forward to hearing from you.
