This co-ed, facilitated interpersonal group provides a rich, stimulating environment  — with multiple perspectives and interaction styles that allow members to explore and practice relationship and social skills.

This is a proven method of increasing self-awareness – the group serves as a microcosm for the world outside – allowing feelings to develop and be worked through real-time. Group members are helped as these skills generalize to social, romantic, and work relationships outside. Click here to see the Johari model of self awareness.

Group can help you find your authentic voice — express and listen with honesty and compassion — say things and explore perceptions that do not get talked about in social conversation. Learn to take risks, saying things that are true to you  — and do so in a place designed to support spontaneity and aliveness.

Some people find the right time for group is when you see obstacles yet find it difficult to change the pattern. Print out a flyer and contact me for more information.

For referring therapists – this is a process group that can stimulate, enhance, or enliven individual therapy, and I welcome collaborative consultation.

“Only the kernel of every object nourishes;  

   Where is he who tears off the husks for you and me?  

   Where is he that undoes stratagems and envelopes for you
    and me?”
