Group Work
Dream Groups
Dream work is a meaningful practice for self-healing. In dream groups we share and explore our nightly journeys in community. Supporting one another in self-discovery.
Groups range in size, duration, and style. Some are intimate and brief. Others are open and ongoing. Some focus on creative exploration while others tap into our spirituality.
I lead dream groups in-person and online so that I can gather with dreamers around the globe.
No dream work experience is necessary to join a group.

How do I prepare for a dream group? Read through your dream journals if you have them. If you don’t have a dream journal practice, begin recording your dreams at least two weeks before our session. Please write your dreams down in a simple, first-person narrative without personal reflections. (Example: “my childhood boyfriend” instead of “Peter who was my boyfriend in the sixth grade when I lived in Eugene.”) It may be helpful to give them a brief title.
What kind of dream can I bring? At the beginning of a dream group and for open groups, I recommend bringing a ‘mild’ dream. One that is meaningful but not deeply vulnerable. Once we have established the group dynamic in a closed group, you may feel comfortable bringing explicit dreams or nightmares. No dream is unworthy of sharing and at the same time not every dream is appropriate for a group container. If you have extremely explicit or gruesome dreams, you might consider a private Dreamcasting session with me.
Creative Workshops
Therapeutic arts are about more than healing from difficult experiences. Creative workshops are about play & pleasure, relaxation, and self-discovery.
In class we weave together art, nature, and ritual. And in doing so we draw closer to ourselves.
Workshops take place in-person and online. Some classes are project-based and others focus on the creative process.
Levels vary from novice to skilled, but are open to all regardless of experience.

Therapy Groups
Sharing your healing experience with others is a precious opportunity.
In group work, there is a community to witness, support, and motivate you. A community of people who have faced similar trials. Led by a skilled facilitator who gently guides the communal quest.
Group work is even more restorative, at times, than one-on-one therapy. As the healing journeys of others touch our own wounds. And shared vulnerability soothes our own broken heart.
Some therapy groups revolve around a certain issue such as grief or identity. Others around a specific process like psychodrama or art therapy.
Therapeutic groups are beneficial on their own or alongside individual therapy.
I lead therapy groups online and in-person for New Mexico residents.

How much does group therapy cost? The cost of a therapy group is significantly less than indvidual sessions. Rates range depending on duration, type, and insurance coverage. On average, I have seen therapy groups that cost between $20-$50 USD per session. Some cost less, some cost more.
Do you take insurance? I do not take insurance but FSA and HSA funds may be used and some insurance reimbursement may be available through your provider depending on your individual plan.
