    Self-Harm Support for Families: Tools for Healing and Connection

    In-Person Workshop · 2.5–3 hours · Custom Pricing Based on Group Size & Travel

    This interactive, psychoeducational workshop is designed for parents and their teens to attend together. It offers a safe, structured space to learn about the neurobiology of self-harm, build emotional regulation skills, and begin repairing the ruptures that often show up in families when self-harm is involved.

    The format includes:

    45 minutes of joint psychoeducation

    45 minutes of breakout groups (teens with one facilitator, parents with another)

    45 minutes of structured reconnection and closing reflections

    The tone is real, compassionate, and non-shaming. Families walk away with practical tools, a deeper understanding of what drives self-harming behaviors, and a sense of connection and hope moving forward.

  • A Workshop for Adults Seeking Calm, Clarity, and Purpose in a Changing World

    Finding Our Way in Uncertain Times: A Workshop for Reflection & Connection

    Many of us are carrying personal struggles that weigh on our hearts and minds. Our relationships may feel strained by uncertainty and polarization. The wider world may feel less stable, more divided, and harder to make sense of.

    In the midst of all this, how do we stay grounded?

    How do we show up as the people we want to be in the world?

    This workshop offers a space to pause, reflect, and connect. Together we will:

    Explore how uncertainty affects us individually and together

    Practice ways of cofusing attention to create calm and clarity

    Reflect on values that give direction and purpose

    Connect with others who are also seeking steadiness in uncertain times

The curious paradox of life is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.
