Group Therapy:
In my approach to group counseling, I strive to create a supportive, person-centered environment where members are encouraged to learn, grow, and actively engage with one another. Groups are semi-structured—providing guidance and scaffolding from me as the facilitator—while emphasizing the power of connection and shared experience between participants. Group counseling is a space to challenge yourself, try out new ways of being, and explore behaviors in real time with others who are on similar journeys. It's not just about talking—it's about doing, relating, and evolving together.
I have extensive experience running groups for Middle Schoolers, High Schoolers, Young adults and in a University Counseling Center setting. Some of the topics focused on in past groups have been: social skills, anger management, academic performance, managing anxiety, conflict resolution skills, managing relationships with parents, self esteem/self-confidence.
Fall 2025 Group Offerings:
High School Support Group (Males Only)
This support group, for high school boys, offers a welcoming space to connect, share, and grow alongside peers navigating the ups and downs of adolescence/high-school life. Rather than focusing on a single issue, the group takes a flexible, responsive approach—allowing weekly topics (e.g. cultivating and managing relationships, managing anxiety, building healthy academic habits, managing expectations, building healthy relationships with parents, building confidence/self-efficacy, etc.) to emerge based on what feels most relevant and helpful to members. This structure fosters a sense of ownership and engagement, while also promoting emotional insight, healthy coping skills, and authentic connection and is a space where boys can feel understood, supported, and challenged to grow—together!
Young Adult Support Group (Males Only)
This male-only, support group, is designed to be a sacred, judgment-free space where young men can explore the unique challenges they face during this transitional stage of life. Rather than focusing on a single issue, the group remains intentionally broad and flexible—allowing us to adapt each week to the evolving needs, concerns, and themes brought forward by members. Over the years, I’ve observed that the male-only format offers something particularly powerful: a space where guys often feel more comfortable letting their guard down, speaking honestly, and connecting with others who “get it.” In this kind of setting, vulnerability becomes a strength, and shared experience becomes a foundation for support, insight, and growth.
