We all need support on our journey. Journeying requires mutual effort, encouragement, trust, witnessing in the entirety of who we are. Groups transform our relationships with each other, the world, and ourselves.
Groups are places where we can vulnerably work on ourselves & see and celebrate the fruits of our labor. They are places where we can witness each other and ourselves more intimately. They are precisely where we encourage our most resilient selves to change, transform for our collective betterment.

I am a therapist who sees you, the human experience, and community as more than the conditioning that has been attached. I value listening to our body as deep wisdom on how to live our earthly purpose.
I have spent a lot of life denying my body wisdom and living a life that felt so out of my control and out of alignment with a deeper purpose I felt.
I have spent the past 7 years on a quest to come back to myself and have experienced quite the journey. Much of the journey was lonely, confusing, full of doubt and feeling misunderstood.
Along the way, through a lot of mess, I have come closer to myself. I learned it was not because I was far away, but because I had spent years internalizing my conditioning and rejecting myself. I picked up the pieces by accepting that they fell for the reason for me to gently pick them back up, one by one, and accept that they are apart of what makes me divinely me.
I am holding group healing space so that we can all remember that all parts of us our divinely created & deserving of witnessing by the world. It is a healing space to let others’ witness you with grace, gratitude so that you can go back on your journey more securely holding the sancity of your life and having experiences you had always dreamt about.

I believe being in trusting and safe group dynamics in and of itself is incredibly healing to the group trauma a lot of us have experienced (institutions, systems, religion, cultural groups, etc). It is incredibly brave to come heal in group and let yourself be witnessed so intimately. I believe in the cycle of showing up for ourselves better when are supported by a group to we show up for each other better when we support our individual self-care.
Not only is it healing at its center, each group also offers tailored space to be with others who have experienced similar feelings & emotions and are as equally engaged in their own betterment. It is a wonderful place to deeply learn from each others’ wisdom and let each other guide each other.
I prioritize groups that are self-sufficient on their own, meaning, I am trying not to control or hold power over the dynamic. I want to hold power alongside you and your healing. Groups are prioritized to keep dialogue and practices open, flowing, honest.
Groups is also an affordable approach to receiving the benefits of therapy & healing if you are open & ready to be in vulnerability with others.
My groups value mind-body connection so there will be elements of energetic and somatic therapy involved in each session. This, in and of itself, can be vulnerable. Please show up as you are - there are always modifications and alternatives available if needed.
Skill Building & Accountability group series are a good fit for those who are holding intention around the betterment of this aspect of your life. It is great to help build a skill with others’ and hold each other accountable for our collective greatness. All groups will co-create commitments and standards of the group space to allow everyone to get what they need out of the group and keep respect centered and easily accessible.
Supporting your Nervous System Groups are a good fit for those who just a need a quick dose of coming back into your body. It is created as a self-reflective practice, where you can learn more about yourself and process what you are currently going through. It is great for the practices that we tell ourselves we will commit to on our own, but end up not. All sessions will be focused on the engagement of your emotional, physical, and energetic body.
All groups require vulnerability, just by nature of what they are. All feelings are welcome here. All body experiences are welcome here. I honor that our body regulates itself in various and unique ways. Please only join groups if you feel attuned to respecting yourself and others as they are, at any moment.

Release Scarcity
Scarcity holds us locked into a belief that we are not meant for more. When our body holds this belief, we stay stuck in patterns, routines, relationships that don’t allow for our growth. Our body postures around a weak center, clenched shoulders, neck, jaw, and hypervigilant eyes. We begin to expect our biggest fears coming true, so our mind begins to orient around the pre-emptive soothing of a system that thinks so lowly of itself. We begin to belittle and critique ourselves. If done chronically, we can lose our inherent sense of having inherent self-worth. What a shame to lose ourselves like this!

Save Your Empathy
It’s likely you may feel anxious, lonely, insecurely attached to people, places, and things because of the empathy you’re over-extending. Sounds counter intuitive, but when we start to give more than we have, our body, our mind gets stressed. We may loop into thoughts and patterns that suggest we may be over whatever attachment we’ve grown to, but lack of caring for our empathy and boundaries is keeping us stuck from moving on from things we’ve outgrown.
In this series you will learn information & practices to incorporate in your daily life to manage over extension, rumination, and staying disciplined to your self-love practices.

Discover You
Self-discovery is no joke. We are ever evolving, transforming and changing. It can be a lot to process who we are, no less to come into the shape of who we want to be. The thing about identity, is that it too is also ever changing. It is not something we ‘achieve’ or ‘accomplish’. It is instead, something we are allowed to try on and put back on the rack or keep in our wardrobe forever or just a few months. There are truly no rules.
This series supports us in our exploration of self. It will support you in building tolerance of accepting all parts of your self and trying out different ways of showing up for yourself to see what resonates.
