Current Groups
Join a group of like minded people to discuss challenges of being in relationship with people who have drastically different values, beliefs, and priorities than you do. Learn tools to navigate family gatherings where these topics come up, explore anger, grief, or other feelings related to family not valuing you or your needs, and examine how to take care of yourself in this relationship. Sometimes that means leaving family or having limited contact - talk about these things too!
Interested group members will meet with me individually before joining the group, where we will discuss your goals for the group and try to ensure this is the right place for you. We all know how charged conversations around these topics can be and I want to do my best to make sure this group does not create additional harm to anyone. The one on one meeting is $80.
Contact me if you have questions about the group or to express an interest in joining. The group is not currently meeting so the start date will be announced when there are enough members.
In immigration law, especially in this political climate, you are exposed to many difficult emotions. You might be feeling anger/frustration at the continually changing laws that impact your clients, sadness at seeing lives disrupted, a sense of hopelessness that you aren't able to do more, and could even be experiencing secondary trauma (symptoms of trauma because you are an emotional witness to people retelling their traumatic histories).
This group is for lawyers practicing immigration law who are feeling stress, overwhelm, burnout, fatigue, and other emotional responses to the work. We meet once per month to provide support, an opportunity to talk about the challenges of the work, to share victories, problem-solve work challenges, and learn tools to allow you to continue in the work.
If you are interested in attending, please contact me for a free introductory one-on-one meeting. In this meeting, we will talk about what you want to get from the group meetings and see if this group is the right place for you.
If you're a therapist who wants a space for professional development, desires a deep connection with other therapists, hopes to expand your referral network, and wants to discover more about how process groups work, this group is for you!
I've been in a training group for over five years. That experience has helped grow my professional skills, group therapy skills, and my identity as a therapist. Additionally, I am a Certified Group Psychotherapist. All that to say, I have lots of experience being in and leading groups. I will bring that knowledge to my leadership role in this training group.
If you want to learn more about the group or know you are interested in joining, contact me. We will meet individually two to three times to get to know each other, identify your goals for being in this group, and determine together whether this is the right fit.
I am hoping to run this group in person; however, I am open to virtual if that is the desire of the group members. If we meet virtually, we will schedule one or more intensive in-person trainings during the year. This allows an opportunity to get deeper into the work and our relationships with each other. If you are not local to Los Angeles you would be welcome to join the group with the condition that you travel here for the in-person experiences.
