A Unique Approach to Therapy: Group Classes and Themed 1-on-1 Sessions
I’m excited to offer group classes and one-on-one themed sessions that go beyond traditional therapy, helping you connect with yourself on a deeper level, explore your inner landscape, and develop practical tools for growth and balance.
Why Groups Matter
Healing doesn’t have to happen in isolation. In a group setting, you’ll find a community of like-minded individuals who are also on a journey of self-discovery and growth. Sharing insights, listening to others, and being part of a supportive group fosters connection and normalizes the challenges we face. Community has a unique ability to heal—it reminds us that we are not alone, and it creates a safe space for vulnerability, understanding, and shared growth.
I am deeply committed to the transformative power of group work. As a participant in a group myself, I have witnessed firsthand how profoundly supportive, effective, and healing the experience can be. Inspired by its impact, I have dedicated my practice to bringing this sense of connection and growth to others, creating spaces where individuals can heal, learn, and thrive together.
Affordable Option!
These group classes offer an affordable alternative for those with high deductibles or without insurance, providing a structured and supportive space for personal growth at a fraction of the cost of traditional one-on-one therapy. They’re designed to make meaningful mental health support accessible without sacrificing quality or depth. Please visit my Insurance/Fees page.
Themed One-on-One Sessions
If a group setting doesn’t feel like the right fit, I also offer the same topics in one-on-one themed sessions. These sessions provide a focused and structured approach to personal growth while allowing the flexibility to tailor the work to your individual needs. Having a theme or focus for each session helps create a clear path forward, ensuring that you stay engaged, consistent, and committed to your progress.
Why This Approach Works

Groups create a sense of belonging, support, and shared understanding, making personal growth feel less isolating.
-
Both group and individual sessions are designed with a clear theme and purpose, helping you make forward progress without feeling overwhelmed.

A structured approach helps you stay engaged and motivated, giving you tools to apply between sessions and ensuring meaningful progress.

Themed Groups and Themed Sessions
I’m passionate about creating customized group classes that meet the unique needs and interests of your group. Whether you’re looking to explore themes such as navigating parenting parts, transitioning through significant life stages like menopause, becoming empty nesters, or entering parenthood, or addressing the emotional impact of political and social stress, I can design a class that aligns with your goals. With just four participants, we can create a supportive and meaningful group experience that fosters connection, growth, and real progress. Let’s collaborate to bring your ideas to life and create a space for deeper understanding and transformation!
Part 1 Foundational Class: Introduction to Parts Work (January 2025)
This 12-week class is perfect for those who are new to therapy or parts work. It lays the groundwork for understanding your inner world, building emotional awareness, and developing self-compassion. This is an excellent starting point before diving into more advanced topics.
Part 2 Class: Building on the Foundations of Part 1
For participants who have completed the foundational class, this 8-12-week advanced class builds on the insights gained, focusing on deeper parts work, integration, and cultivating lasting inner harmony.
Advanced Class: Inner Critics and Perfectionist Parts
This 12-week class takes a deeper dive into exploring the critical and perfectionist parts of yourself. Learn to understand the roles these parts play, meet them with compassion, and transform their influence on your life. Ideal for those ready to work intensively on self-acceptance and reducing inner judgment.
Body Image and Healthy Lifestyle Choices
A 12-week class dedicated to parts related to body image and making healthy lifestyle choices. This group explores how internalized beliefs and protective parts impact body image and provides tools to foster self-acceptance, balance, and a healthier relationship with your body.
Shadow Parts and Self-Forgiveness
In this advanced class, we’ll explore shadow parts—those hidden or repressed aspects of yourself that can influence your behaviors and emotions. Through understanding and integrating these parts, you’ll develop greater self-awareness and self-forgiveness, creating a path to inner balance and peace.
What to Expect from Every Class
All group classes are experiential, hands-on, and practical. Each 1.5-hour session combines learning, personal exploration, and creative expression, providing a structured yet supportive space for self-discovery, connection, and growth.
-
Educational Segment
Each session begins with an introduction to tools and concepts rooted in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and mind-body connection practices. You’ll learn about how the nervous system responds to emotions, how we store emotional experiences, and how working with different parts of ourselves can foster insight and growth. -
Processing and Sharing
A safe and respectful space is provided to reflect on what’s coming up for you during the session. Sharing insights and experiences is encouraged but always optional. For those who prefer a private setting, these classes can also be adapted to a 1-on-1 format. -
Art Expression Projects
Creative expression is a key component of each session. Art therapy projects connect with the weekly theme, allowing participants to explore and express their emotions visually. Projects like soul collage offer a way to connect with different parts of yourself, while other creative techniques are introduced to deepen your experience. -
Guided Meditation
Groups include a guided meditation to help integrate the work and encourage regular practice. These meditations are designed to help you connect with yourself on a deeper level, fostering self-compassion, inner balance, and clarity. By focusing your energy and emotions on positive intentions, they guide you in releasing old patterns and creating space for healing, alignment, and personal discovery. Please note the majority of sessions you will be given a guided meditation based on a theme via a link instead of doing it live in class. -
Journal Therapy
Journaling assignments will be provided each week as a way to reflect on the session’s theme and continue exploring the principles on your own time. Prompts will encourage deeper self-reflection, helping you notice patterns, connect with emotions, and apply what you’ve learned to your daily life. Journaling offers a bridge between sessions, keeping you engaged with the work and reinforcing the insights gained in class.

Again, if you create your own group of 4 I can try to accommodate a day and time based on group needs
All groups are designed for individuals who are not in crisis and feel comfortable participating in a group setting. In this format, we strive for a balanced experience where everyone has the opportunity to share and contribute. While the group offers a supportive space for exploration, it is not a substitute for individual therapy. To ensure a good fit, I’ll schedule a meet-and-greet with each participant before the class begins.
