Consultation Groups
Queerly Abundant
In partnership with Meg Schefter of Abundance Psychotherapy & Consulting, I run the community consultation group Queerly Abundant. This group meets biweekly year-round, with a focus on the intersections of LGBTQ+ identity, neurodivergence, and professional use of identity in therapeutic practice. This group is a space to create community connection, share skills, and build resources, especially for mental health practitioners in solo private practice. Note: We are currently open for one new member. If this sounds interesting to you, please reach out.
