Competence as a therapist requires both skill building/training and a commitment to our own healing and growth as humans.

In a process oriented training group therapists are invited to work interpersonally in the “here and now” to practice identifying and expressing the thoughts, feelings and reactions they have inside themselves, and towards others. Interpersonal work helps therapists enlarge the psychological container they bring to their clients and provides a space for authentic and meaningful connection.

The group is also a place to talk through challenging professional and personal experiences, explore countertransference, and work towards a fulfilling and enlivening career.

Group membership reduces burnout, isolation and imposter syndrome and increases resilience and vitality.

ABOUT ME:

My personal growth expands my capacity as a therapist, and being a therapist enriches my experience of being a human. This symbiotic relationship expands and motivates me, and I bring this stance to my work with other therapists.

I have advanced training and ongoing interest in: Interpersonal Neurobiology, Attachment Theory, Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy (PACT), Modern Analytic group, EMDR and trauma processing, Psychodynamic theory, developmental trauma, The Person of the Therapist Model, relational-cultural theory, chronic shame, high sensitivity.

I’m a Certified Group Psychotherapist and my group training includes many years of study with the Center for Group Studies, AGPS, AGPA, and long-term membership in both a therapy group and a process-oriented training group.
