Groups

These groups offer a structured supportive space to build emotional regulation, clarity and connection - without pressure, performance, or the need to "get it right."

Groups are non-clinical, educational, and skill based, grounded in nervous system science and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). The focus is on helping the body settle so learning, refection, and meaningful change can actually occur.

A DIFFERENT KIND OF GROUP EXPERIENCE 

Many people already understand WHY they feel overwhelmed, reactive or stuck- yet their body remains on high alert.

When the nervous system is activated, insight and skills do not integrate. Regulation creates the physiological conditions that allow learning, refection and change to hold.

A Regulation-Supportive Group Environment

I value group work held in regulation-supportive rooms because I consistently see deeper learning and integration when the nervous system settles.

For some groups, the environment may include the THE LIGHT SYSTEM ROOM.  The Light System room is used to to enhance focus, safety and skill integration not to replace discussion or connection.

This is not about about doing therapy or coaching "better."

It's about creating the conditions where skills can land in the body, not just the mind.

CURRENT GROUPS

GETTING THE LOVE YOU WANT

Relationships and Connection 

This group is for people who want healthier, more connected relationship without losing themselves in the process.

We explore how nervous system patterns, attachment wounds, and past relational harm shape the way we love, react and protect ourselves  Using DBT-informed informed skills and guided refections, participants learn to recognize old patterns and practice new ways of relating with clarity and self-respect.

This group may be helpful if you:

• feel anxious, guarded or disconnected in relationships
• struggle with boundaries or over-functioning
• repeat relationships you don't fully understand
• want connection without self-abandonment

The focus is not on fixing yourself or your partner- but on building awareness, regulation and choice in how you show up in relationships.

HOLDING WHAT HURTS

Grief & Loss 

This group offers a supportive space to hold grief without rushing it, explaining it away, or trying to "move on"

Grief shows up in many forms- a loss of a person, a relationship, a family structure, a sense of safety, or the life you thought you would have. This group centers nervous system regulation alongside gentle refection, allowing grief to be held with steadiness rather than overwhelm.

This group maybe helpful if you:

• feel stuck,  numb, or emotionally flooded after loss
• carry grief that hasn't had spece to be acknowledged
• want support without pressure to perform or share more than feels safe
• need a place where grief is honored not managed

IMPORTANT NOTES

Groups are educational and supportive in nature and are not psychotherapy. They may be used alongside individual therapy or on their own.
