A part of you longs to build deeper relationships and feel more connected.
Trouble is, there’s also a guarded part of you that keeps you from truly getting close to others.
Maybe past relationships with partners, friends or parents have been a source of pain in your life.
Perhaps low self-confidence holds you back in the relationship department.
Or maybe you can’t really put your finger on why you feel so isolated and lonely.
Whatever it is that’s keeping you from connecting, you’re not alone!

FAQs
Alone Together is a private and comfortable space for you to receive support and understanding from others who are wrestling with similar life concerns. It’s also a space for you to actively work on the interpersonal barriers and patterns that hold you back from connecting more deeply with others. Sometimes we discuss topics like communication, intimacy, fear of judgment, vulnerability, and self-image. Other times, we spend our time discussing and processing what’s happening in the group. We also like to have fun and share some laughs along the way.
Alone Together is an open-ended therapy group with no definite end date. Interested in joining us? Great, we’d love to have you! Simply fill out the contact form at the bottom of this page.
In order to create a safe space, Alone Together is only open to individuals who are struggling in the interpersonal areas outlined above. If you have a friend who is also struggling to connect and build meaningful relationships with others, please have them complete a separate contact form and I will reach out to them separately.
Individual therapy is not a requirement for group participation. If you’re already attending individual therapy, Alone Together provides a space for you to build upon and further your individual work.
I understand that life happens and last-minute things come up from time to time. If you’re unable to attend a group meeting, I simply ask that you provide me with as much notice as possible. For the sake of group cohesion, I also ask that you make regular group attendance a priority. Chances are, once you meet the rest of the group and get a feel for how we do things, you won’t want to miss a meeting!
