Groups Designed for Growth

For over 15 years, I’ve facilitated transformative groups in Berkeley, Oakland, and San Francisco, bringing together people who want to learn proven tools, connect with others, and make lasting changes in their lives.

These groups are intentionally designed for women who want to grow, connect, and learn in a space that understands and centers their experiences. My groups are ideal if you’re looking for:

  • Practical strategies to manage anxiety and overwhelm.

  • Communication skills that strengthen relationships.

  • Tools for setting and maintaining boundaries, even with loved ones.

What Makes These Groups Different

  • Expert Facilitation
    I bring over a decade of clinical experience and advanced training in CBT, DBT, and mindfulness to every group.

  • Small Size, Big Impact
    Groups are intentionally kept small so every participant gets personal attention and feedback.

  • Evidence-Based + Practical
    You’ll learn skills backed by research and practice applying them to real-life situations.

  • Supportive Environment
    A space where growth, vulnerability, and humor are all welcome.

What You’ll Gain

By the end of a group cycle, you can expect to:

  • Understand why certain patterns keep showing up, and how to change them.

  • Feel more confident navigating challenging conversations.

  • Experience reduced anxiety and greater emotional balance.

  • Build connections with others who see you.

How It Works

Groups meet weekly for 60 minutes, either in person in my Oakland Rockridge office or online via a secure platform. Each group includes:

  • Education on the week’s topic

  • Interactive activities to build mastery

  • Time for discussion, questions, and personalized feedback

Current Group Offerings

Anxiety fundamentals, Coping with general anxiety, perfectionism and stress, Clinical peer consultation for licensed therapists.

A quick note

These groups aren’t therapy, and joining doesn’t create a therapist–client relationship. The groups are educational spaces to learn skills and practice tools. If you need therapy or are experiencing a mental health crisis, please reach out to a licensed provider or call 911 in the U.S.
