Group Therapy
Deepening Connection
Through Relational Practice
Group therapy offers a powerful way to explore the patterns, defenses, and longings that shape how you show up with others. It is not just about talking about relationships — it is about practicing them in real time with real people.
In group, we slow down so you can notice what comes up in connection: fears, expectations, desires, and protective habits. As trust grows, space opens to try new ways of relating, speak your truth, receive honest feedback, and work through conflict with support.
This work often reaches places individual therapy can’t. It can be vulnerable and difficult, but also deeply meaningful.
Is Group Therapy Right for You?
You might benefit from an interpersonal process group if you are:
Uncertain about how to express your needs or boundaries
Feeling stuck in recurring patterns in friendships, partnerships, or community
Avoiding conflict or overwhelmed by interpersonal tension
Suppressing feelings until they surface in unexpected ways
Struggling to trust or let yourself be truly seen
Lonely but unsure how to build connection
Sensitive to internal or external experiences and looking for support
Curious about your attachment style and its impact
Ready to practice giving and receiving feedback in a safe space
What Happens in Group?
A common saying is “What happens out there tends to show up in here.” That is the power of group. The dynamics that show up in your life tend to emerge in the group space where they can be explored, named, and gently shifted.
Group therapy gives you a chance to:
Practice identifying and expressing your needs
Get feedback in a supportive, non-judgmental space
Experience and process emotions that come up in connection
Work through conflict without withdrawing or escalating
Grow your capacity for vulnerability and honesty
Explore what it feels like to be fully seen and accepted
Build more authentic and sustainable relationships
This work is challenging, but it can also transform the way you relate to yourself and others.
Current Groups
Both groups are ongoing and meet weekly via Zoom. New members are welcomed through a consultation process to ensure fit and readiness. Participants commit to at least 6 sessions to support a stable and safe(r) environment.
Relational Rewire
Tuesdays 5:30-7pm Pacific
This group focuses on attachment dynamics and the ways we disconnect or anxiously pursue connection. If you struggle with trust, closeness, avoidance, or fear of rejection, this group offers a space to explore those patterns and begin shifting them in real time with others who are doing the same.
Messy, Human, & Here
Thursdays 5:30-7pm Pacific
This group is for people trying to stay emotionally present in a world that feels like it’s falling apart. This group holds space for political and existential overwhelm, interpersonal vulnerability, and the messiness of real life.It’s a place where you don’t have to show up polished.

You can improve your relationships and better understand your attachment styles in Group Therapy!
-
Group therapy brings together a small group of people (usually 6 - 12) to meet together weekly with one or two therapists to work through relational issues that lead to distress or dissatisfaction in relationships.
Each group session is 90 minutes and members are expected to attend group weekly, so we can build the kind of trust and continuity that allows for deeper emotional risk, repair, and growth.
-
Interpersonal therapy groups are intentionally unstructured. There is no set agenda or rotating topic, and I don’t typically prompt the group with a question each week.
Instead, members are asked to mindfully pay attention to their thoughts, feelings, and reactions as they occur in real time. You are invited to share what you’re noticing — Are you feeling appreciative? Jealous? Somebody reminds you of your best friend! Somebody’s tardiness is annoying! — as the group unfolds.
While this may sound simple, people often have a difficult time with this task. Most of us are so accustomed to (over)analyzing ourselves or reacting automatically that it can be disorienting to just sit with what is happening as it happens. But this here-and-now awareness gives us access to the underlying relational dynamics that are often hard to name outside of group.
-
Absolutely! Many of the same principles of group show up in individual therapy, and I bring them into my one-on-one work regularly.
However, what makes group unique is the chance to experience and experiment with your relational patterns as they happen—with others who can respond, reflect, and offer feedback that’s often more immediate or diverse than what can happen in individual work. People often find that group helps them recognize and shift long-standing dynamics more quickly than they expected.
-
If you’re curious, the first step is to schedule a free 20-30 minute consultation. We’ll talk about what’s bringing you in, what kind of changes you’re hoping to make, and whether this kind of group work feels like the right fit for you.
Therapy Intensives
Focused, Deep Work Tailored to You
Sometimes the usual 50-minute session doesn’t give us the space we need to explore more in-depth topics. Maybe you’re juggling too much and need longer, uninterrupted time to make sense of your experiences. Or maybe you want to focus on something specific without committing to ongoing weekly therapy.
Therapy Intensives are focused, extended sessions designed to give you the space and time to explore what really matters without the usual start-stop rhythm of weekly therapy. Unlike typical 50-minute appointments, intensives allow us to slow down, go deeper, and work collaboratively on what you’re carrying—whether that’s clarifying your values, navigating a life transition, or unpacking relational patterns.
We'll use Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFiT) as our foundation—working together to explore the emotions, needs, and meanings underneath what you're carrying.
A Closer Look at EFiT
EFiT is a therapy approach rooted in attachment science. It helps us understand how our emotions signal deeper needs—like the need to feel safe, connected, understood, or valued. Instead of focusing only on thoughts or behaviors, EFiT invites us to move toward the emotional undercurrents shaping our reactions, relationships, and sense of self.
I offer several types of intensives:
1:1 Values Intensives:
For individuals who want focused time to explore what matters most. These intensives can help clarify internal conflicts, deepen self-understanding, or reconnect you with the values that guide your life and relationships. Includes a workbook and optional follow-up sessions. Offered in flexible 3-hour blocks that can span multiple full- or half-days.
Group-Based Values Intensives:
For those wanting to explore values in community. These cohort-style intensives meet weekly for 6 weeks, with the option to continue in an ongoing process group. Includes a guided workbook, and optional 1:1 support.
Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFiT) Intensives:
For individuals navigating identity, transitions, or big decisions. These EFiT intensives support you in making contact with core emotions, understanding patterns, and moving forward with greater clarity and self-trust. Offered in flexible 3-hour blocks that can span multiple full- or half-days.
Relational Values Intensives:
For couples or close dyads wanting to reflect on shared values, work through conflict, or build greater connection. These intensives support honest dialogue, emotional clarity, and mutual understanding. Offered in flexible 3-hour blocks that can span multiple full- or half-days.
Why Consider an Intensive?
Here are a few reasons people find Intensives helpful:
Deep Exploration Without Limits: You get more time to slow down, reflect, and dive beneath the surface, beyond what weekly sessions often allow.
Navigating Big Life Changes: Transitions, identity shifts, or major decisions can benefit from focused, uninterrupted support.
Clarifying Your Values: Values Intensives help you reconnect with what matters most and begin living with greater intention.
Relational and Identity Work: Whether you’re processing attachment patterns or exploring aspects of your identity, intensives create space to engage in meaningful change.
What to Expect in an Intensive:
Intensives are held virtually and last from about 4 hours up to several days, with breaks built in for rest and integration.
We’ll work collaboratively to create a container that fits your needs—whether that’s a single focused session or multiple sessions over a few days.
The pacing allows you to slow down and stay with challenging feelings or questions, rather than rushing through them.
After the intensive, I offer optional follow-up support or integration exercises tailored to you.
What’s Special About Values Intensives?
Values Intensives are designed to help you reconnect with what truly matters to you—beyond external pressures and expectations. This format offers a supportive space to:
Explore where your current life feels out of sync with your core values
Identify internal conflicts or barriers that hold you back
Develop practical steps to live with more clarity, purpose, and intention
If you’ve been feeling disconnected from yourself or unsure how to move forward, this is a focused way to rediscover your compass and take grounded action.
How to Schedule an Intensive:
Intensives are scheduled individually and begin with a consultation to understand your needs and goals. They are a flexible way to engage in therapeutic work when a traditional weekly schedule feels overwhelming or insufficient.
If you’re interested in learning more or want to schedule a consultation, please contact me.
Format & Time Commitment
To give you flexibility, most intensives are offered in focused 3-hour blocks of clinical time. These sessions are designed to fit your availability and needs, and can be combined or “stacked” for a longer experience over several days. Most intensives will include a custom workbook designed with your goals in mind.
Each intensive also includes a 60 to 90-minute intake session to plan your work together, and a follow-up debrief to support integration.
This means intensives typically range from about 5 hours (intake + one 3-hour block + debrief) to longer options depending on your goals and availability.
Group-based intensives follow a different rhythm, typically meeting weekly over several weeks, with workbooks and optional 1:1 support available.

Not exactly. Intensives are more focused, time-limited, and often structured around a particular question, transition, or theme. While they still draw on the same evidence-based modalities I use in ongoing therapy, they’re designed for folks who are looking to go deeper outside the constraints of the weekly format.
Weekly therapy can be deeply supportive, but the structure also comes with limits. With only 50 minutes, you may spend much of the time settling in and orienting before needing to wind down again. It can be hard to drop into deeper work or stay with complex emotions under that kind of time pressure.
Intensives give us space to slow down and stay in the work. Instead of stopping just as something meaningful begins to emerge, we can explore more fully, follow threads, and process at a more natural pace. They are especially helpful when something big feels “right there” but you haven’t had the room to unpack it.
-
Individual and Couples Intensives are co-created based on your needs. A common 3-day format might look like this:
Day One: 10:00am–1:00pm, break for lunch, resume 2:00–4:00pm
Day Two: 10:00am–1:00pm, break for lunch, resume 2:00–5:00pm
Day Three: 10:00am–1:00pm, with the afternoon reserved for integration or optional add-ons (like a follow-up session or written reflection)
I offer Intensives starting at 5 hours (usually split into a one hour intake and planning session followed by two 120-minute sessions with a break) up to multi-day options spanning 15–18 hours total.
Group Intensives take place in 6-week cohorts that meet once a week and includes a workbook and optional 1:1 sessions. Members have the option to join a weekly values-specific process group afterwards. -
Pricing is based on a 1-2x multiplier of my standard therapy fee, meaning Group Intensives range from ~$70-$100 per session, and Individual and Couples Intensives range approximately from $1,500 for a 3-hour Intensive up to $3,600 for a multi-day Intensive. All intensives include intake and debrief sessions and personalized resources.

Therapeutic intensives offer focused and deep work, but they aren’t the best fit for everyone at every moment. You might want to consider other forms of support if:
You’re currently in a situation where your safety or stability feels at risk, such as an actively abusive relationship.
You’re navigating a crisis that requires ongoing, frequent check-ins or immediate interventions.
You need long-term, consistent support to manage symptoms that feel overwhelming or unmanageable on your own.
If any of these resonate, that’s okay. I’m happy to help connect you to resources or talk through next steps that feel right for your current needs.
