The power of shared experience.

True change happens when people feel connected. When your team sees their struggles reflected in their peers and realizes they're not alone, something shifts. My groups create a trauma-informed space for people to get things off their chest, learn new strategies, and support each other. Your team shows up for everyone else every day. It’s time for them to get the care they need and deserve.

What we can address

Groups can be one-time or recurring, virtual or in-person, and typically run 1-3 hours with up to 8 participants. We can focus on:

  • Just because burnout is common doesn't make it tolerable. This group gives participants space to get the difficult stuff off their chest while building realistic skills to relieve and manage symptoms. Ideal for workplace teams or community groups navigating high-demand, high-stress environments.

  • While vicarious trauma can impact many work sectors, this group is ideal for for social service providers in high-trauma sectors like crisis response, healthcare, houseless services, and victim advocacy. Participants talk through their own experiences, build skills together, and find relief through connection. A space where caregivers finally get to receive care.

  • When something traumatic happens at work, your team needs immediate support. Whether you're in the private sector, a nonprofit, or a state agency, a one-time facilitated session helps your team process a sudden loss, act of violence, or other overwhelming event and begin moving forward.

  • Social service providers grieving clients lost to overdose face a unique kind of bereavement. Stigma, complex dynamics, and the relentlessness of loss make this grief isolating, particularly in houseless and victim services fields. I bring professional expertise and personal lived experience to help participants process and cope together.
