Group Therapy
Individual therapy is important. There are depths to your psyche that are best supported by exploration in an intimate 1:1 container. We believe this wholeheartedly.
And – we also believe in the importance of community. Growing alongside others is what our group offerings are all about.
Current Group Therapy Offering:
Slow Sundays
Softening Into You: Making 2026 a Year of Intention & Authenticity
Softening, Together
Our Slow Sundays group is a weekly women’s group to support you in living with more authenticity. This group is a soft place to step into 2026 with presence, intention, and like-minded community.
This group might be for you if you…
yearn for more meaningful connections with other women
struggle to make decisions and connect with your intuition
are feeling burnt out and want to be more intentional with your time
are feeling lost and unsure what steps to take next
feel called to live a more embodied, present life
It’s an opportunity to slow down and be in self-inquiry, to listen to your body, to witness and be witnessed by sisters, to gain clarity on what you want, and to be in reverence to mother earth and all that we hold as women in this modern world.
Topics and invitations include:
Mindfulness Meditation
Nature Connection
Nervous System Regulation
Seasons & Cycles
Values Exploration
Creating Morning Rituals
Embodiment & Somatic Practices

Curious if this might be for you?
I invite you to take a few moments to yourself. Take a few slow, deep belly breaths, and close your eyes or come to a soft gaze in front of you.
Visualize a person, activity, or place that you love without question. Someone, something, or some place that is an absolute, obvious yes for you. Give this image some color - what does it look like, smell like, sound like, feel like? Take a few more deep breaths holding this in your awareness. How does this feel in your body?
