What Is Group Therapy?
Group therapy is a form of psychotherapy where individuals work together with one or more trained facilitators to explore patterns in relationships, communication, and emotional experience. In this shared space, members become mirrors, witnesses, and allies — offering both support and challenge as each person learns from the real dynamics unfolding in the group.
Why Group Therapy Works
Being with others in a therapeutic group offers unique benefits you won’t find in individual therapy alone:
Belonging & validation — See your struggles reflected and feel understood.
Real-time relational practice — Try new ways of connecting with genuine support.
Multiple perspectives — Growth through diverse insights and lived experience.
Emotional regulation support — Practice emotional expression and containment in a safe environment.
Affordability + continuity — Regular weekly connection with peer support and therapist guidance.

Let’s Make Contact!
An In-Person Psychotherapy Group
Many of us lost something essential during the COVID years: regular, embodied contact with other people. Even now, with so much of life happening online, it can feel surprisingly hard to re-enter shared space, take interpersonal risks, and feel truly seen.
Let’s Make Contact! is an in-person psychotherapy group for people who feel socially isolated, disconnected, or out of practice with being in relationship—and who want to change that, gently and intentionally.
This group offers a safe, supportive container to:
Practice engaging with others in real time
Take relational risks at your own pace
Express thoughts, feelings, and parts of yourself that don’t always have room elsewhere
Learn and practice skills for authentic connection
Have your emotions witnessed and held by others
Rebuild trust in yourself and in human contact
Together, we’ll explore what happens between us—moments of closeness, hesitation, curiosity, discomfort, resonance—using them as material for growth, understanding, and connection.
I will guide and hold the process, helping the group stay attuned, respectful, and emotionally safe, while allowing real contact to emerge. You don’t need to be “good at groups” or socially confident to join—only willing to show up and be curious.
This group is for you if:
You feel lonely, disconnected, or isolated
Social interactions feel effortful, anxiety-provoking, or confusing
You miss meaningful, embodied human connection
You want more than surface-level interaction
You’re ready to practice being more fully yourself with others
