Group Therapy
In 2018, I designed, co-created, and co-facilitated an open group for female-identified survivors of sexual violence at OurVOICE Rape Crisis Center in Asheville, NC. There, I also initiated the creation of the informal staff-led "Growth group" for workplace wellness.
In the beginning of my career in San Francisco, I participated in a Staff Development group among staff, administration, and treatment team members, where we examined and processed our responses to the work we were doing with adolescent foster youth.
Since opening my practice, I have been invited to facilitate groups in workplaces that include industries such as agriculture, finance, and healthcare. I bring psychoeducational material, offer opportunities to examine interpersonal dynamics, and offer staff opportunities to get curious about how they can transform the employment environment.
These experiences contribute to the creation of the following group offerings, and inform the work I welcome with organizations.

Trauma Psychoeducation Group
This group focuses on the emotional and somatic impacts of living through traumatic experiences. Interpersonal violence is far more common than we assume. Share in this group the ways in which your worldview has been impacted by experiences of violence, discover that you are not alone, and learn about strategies for grounding, regulating, and thriving after trauma.

Professional Helpers' Burnout Check-in Group
You've been here before, you'll be here again. What's the same about burnout every time it's happening, and what's evolving as you grow and shift toward prevention? What are the tiny shifts that make big differences, and what significant changes could bring relief? Come sit with fellow helpers and check your burnout status.
