Therapy Groups
I'll be starting up a 7-session Internal Family Systems group beginning June 6, 2022 and running Monday evenings, 5:15-6:54 through July 18. IFS groups are dynamic, involving exploring and helping different parts of ourselves, particularly parts that we regard as troublemakers (e.g., parts that criticize and judge ourselves and others, overeat, overdrink, overspend, overdo social media and internet, over-whatever) and vulnerable parts that hold painful emotions and negative beliefs about ourselves that are the result of wounds from past experiences.
Group members will get to know their own and one anothers' parts through interactive exercises, meditation and writing, and learn to increase access to their core Selves, practice Self-led communication and become more Self-led in daily life.
This group will meet on Zoom. Sessions will be 90 minutes long, $75 per session. Interested people need to meet with me for a (no-cost, Zoom) screening/intake prior to the first group session they attend.
To schedule an intake or for more information, email me using the portal on my "Contact" page, or leave a voicemail at 919-990-1143.

My groups for people dealing with disordered eating are on hiatus. I'm keeping an interest list and when we're able to return to meeting in person, I'll contact those on the list about starting back up. Please contact me if you're interested.
Connection to others in recovery from a troubled relationship with food or exercise is essential. I offer group therapy for women suffering from disordered eating, compulsive exercise, and weight and body image concerns. Group is a supportive place in which to explore and heal disordered relationships with food and body through interpersonal relationship dynamics, as well as development of effective tools and skills. It's a place to laugh and cry together as members work and grow together. Group is also intended to be a place to create a recovery support system, so I encourage contact between members outside of group.
I have two groups: one for people who restrict, over-exercise, binge and/or purge, the other for women only, who struggle with overeating/bingeing/emotional eating, dieting, weight control and/or obesity. Both are open-ended, meaning the group is ongoing, rather than limited to a set number of meetings. Some members have attended for several years, and some, a few months. Group membership is limited to 8. The groups are designed to be one part of an individuals' recovery program, and so members are required to be in individual therapy (with me or another therapist).
Both groups meet on alternating Monday evenings, 6-7:30 p.m. The fee is $60 for each group meeting. Reduced fees are available if finances are a concern. Prospective members must meet with me for an intake prior to attending their first group. This lasts about 30-45 minutes and costs $60. Coming to one group doesn't obligate you to continue, however, I ask that members make a minimum one-year commitment.

Short-term groups and workshops in the making-- please return to this page for updates :
I am incubating a one-day workshop for women on creating ritual to honor meaningful life events/transitions. This workshop will be for cis women only, as it will involve recognition of the experience of growing up female in patriarchal society.
If you are interested in any of these, please contact me and let me know! I'll place you on an interest list and keep you posted.
