What Makes Group Therapy Different?
Individual therapy gives you focused attention from one person. Group therapy gives you something different: the opportunity to experience yourself in relationship with other people.
You don't have to arrive knowing exactly what to say or how to participate. My job is to create enough structure and safety for you to explore, notice what happens, and try something different at your own pace.
Group therapy offers something individual therapy can't completely replicate: the experience of being yourself with other people while being met with curiosity, understanding, and care.

You won't be forced to share before you're ready
Group therapy isn’t about performing or having the “right things to say”- it’s about showing up and discovering what happens when you’re met by others who actually “get” it.
If group therapy sounds interesting but also makes you a little nervous, you're not unusual. In fact, some of the things that make people hesitant about group are exactly the things that can make the experience meaningful.
It’s Normal to Have Some Reservations
What if I don’t know what to say?
What if it’s awkward or I just feel weird?
What if I feel judged or don’t fit in?
What if I shut down or share too much and feel exposed?
What if this doesn’t work as well as individual therapy? Would I be I wasting my time?
You won't be expected to share before you're ready, and you won't be left to figure out group dynamics on your own. My role is to help create a space where people can be honest, curious, and respectful while finding their own pace and way of participating.
Why I believe Group Therapy Can Be Healing
So much of what we struggle with happens in relationship—with ourselves and with other people.
We may judge ourselves for being too sensitive, too angry, too needy, too guarded, or too affected by something that “shouldn't” bother us. We may respond to other people's reactions by withdrawing, explaining, defending, or trying harder to be understood.
Group gives us an opportunity to notice those patterns as they happen—and to experience something different.
You might share something you're embarrassed about and discover that someone else understands. You might notice yourself becoming guarded and have the opportunity to slow down rather than shut down. You might practice responding to someone else with curiosity instead of judgment.
Those experiences can become more than something you understand intellectually. They can become something you know how to do.
How I Guide Our Group Space
Group therapy isn’t just a collection of people talking—it is a space that is intentionally guided, structurally supported, and clinically held. As the therapist leading our group, my role is to cultivate safety and momentum by:
Creating the conditions for you to feel entirely comfortable landing, dropping your guard, and sharing in your own timing.
Tracking the group's pulse by paying close attention to what is being said, what is being felt in the room, and how members are connecting with one another.
Weaving in skills and education right when you need them most, transforming raw discussion into practical tools for emotional regulation and boundary-setting.
Deepening the reflection through purposeful guidance. We use our time to look beneath the surface of our experiences—uncovering patterns, naming shared themes, and listening for the inner wisdom that points to your next step.
Anchoring the truth of shared humanity, ensuring you look around the room and realize that you are absolutely not navigating this wilderness alone.
I won't simply sit back and let the group conversation unfold. I'll help you notice what's happening, ask questions, offer perspective, teach skills when they're useful, and gently bring the conversation back to the work that matters.
I want to help you understand what you're really needing from the experience—and make sure we're using our time together to work toward something meaningful.
You may discover that you're more comfortable listening than speaking, that you worry about how you're perceived, or that you automatically take care of everyone else's feelings. You may notice yourself judging someone—or yourself—and have an opportunity to approach that reaction differently.
With guidance and support, these moments become opportunities to practice curiosity, boundaries, compassion, honesty, and connection.
The relationships you form in group aren't separate from therapy—they're part of it.
Group therapy may be the next healing step if you:
Crave a genuinely safe space where you can completely let your guard down without the constant anxiety of being rejected, judged, or misread.
Are exhausted from toning yourself down or wearing a mask just to fit in around people who simply don’t understand your depth.
Are actively trying to establish healthier boundaries but find it incredibly difficult to maintain them in your day-to-day relationships.
Understand your problematic patterns intellectually, yet find they still keep showing up automatically when you are stressed or overwhelmed.
Feel ready for a deeper momentum than standard weekly individual sessions can provide, and want a dynamic environment to actively practice your growth alongside others.
