I have 20+ years of experience facilitating psychotherapeutic groups, including: (1) hundreds of critical incident debriefings for physicians, nurses, and care teams; (2) hundreds of workforce wellness groups on burnout, conflict resolution, stress management; (3) dozens of Balint and clinical process groups for psychotherapists, primary care providers, ER, OR, oncology and hospice teams; (4) dozens of groups with young children using art and play as developmental tools; (5) During the COVID years, I led 10–12 virtual support groups weekly for impacted care teams, and pioneered the successful use of anonymous polling and word clouds to foster safety and connection. I also have 25+ years of lived experience with chronic pain (sometimes at debilitating levels).
