Friendship Support

Perhaps you and your best friend used to be inseparable, but now every conversation feels strained. Or maybe your friend group is fracturing over unspoken resentments and taking sides. Perhaps you're watching years of history dissolve because no one knows how to address what's really happening.

You love these people.

They're your chosen family, your support system, your creative collaborators. But you're frustrated because you’re stuck in patterns that are pulling you apart, and worried that the distance might be permanent.

Friends = Family

Just like families, friend groups have roles, dynamics, and patterns that can become hurtful or provide your deepest healing.

And not surprisingly, your friendship dynamics often mirror the dynamics from your family of origin. I work with friendship systems the same way I work with families, and look at the deeper patterns.

Using my training from the Ackerman Institute in family systems work, combined with ancient wisdom practices including astrology and tarot, we explore what's really happening beneath the confusion, hurt feelings and misunderstandings.

Why I Guide This Work

Aside from the fact that relational work is written in my soul contract and birth chart, and that I have extensive clinical training in relationship therapy, I guide this work because I’ve experienced the transformative power of friendships beyond what we learn as children about BFFs.

Friendships are a special kind of love story.

The intimacy and depth we experience in non-amorous relationships can break our hearts open in ways few other relationships can, but can also leave us inexplicably unraveled when they end. In the absence of a social script for cultivating or mourning friendships, we’re left with an experience that’s both invisible but felt.

I grew up with a generation of elders that didn’t trust friendships, especially if they were womxn. I was taught that the blood relatives you inherited were more trustworthy than any friend you could choose.

I’ve since unlearned this. In fact, my friendships have been one of the most profound corrective emotional experiences I’ve had.

Through my own reclamation of friendships, including many difficult conversations, breakups and repairs, I’ve learned how to choose friends from a place of love, inner safety and sovereignty, and be the type of friend I’d want for myself.

I believe that, whether or not a friendship works out over the long-term, they are one of the clearest mirrors and most underutilized levers for our healing, joy, and collective liberation.

I’d be an honor to walk alongside you to tap into the support that’s already available to you.

How We Work Together

Friendship Sessions: We meet as a group (2-4 friends) over a min of 3 months to explore your dynamics, communication patterns, karmic themes, and the deeper soul contracts you may be working through together.

Ancient Wisdom Integration: We might use breathwork to get grounded before difficult conversations, tarot to gain clarity on stuck dynamics, astrology to understand your individual styles and group compatibility, or explore past life themes that explain the deep patterns between you. We may also use ritual to honor transitions and growth.

Systemic Healing: We look at how your individual histories, attachment styles, and life changes are showing up in the friendship and creating the patterns you're experiencing.

This work is a great fit for you if:

  • You have an established friendship with depth and breadth - you've been through meaningful experiences together, whether conflicts you've survived or life transitions you've supported each other through.

  • Everyone is committed to healing the relationship

  • You're ready and willing to look at your own patterns

  • You value depth over quick fixes

  • You're open to spiritual approaches alongside practical tools

  • You believe friendships are worth fighting for

Frequently Asked Questions

  • This work is optimally designed for 2-4 friends.

  • All friends need to be committed to the process for this work to be effective. That said, there are still meaningful ways to work on your friendship even when the other person isn't ready or willing to participate. Many people find that when they shift their own patterns, their relationships naturally begin to transform, regardless of the other person's direct participation. In this case, I’d recommend reaching out about individual therapy, honoring both your desire for change and the reality of where others are in their journey.

  • Sometimes the healthiest outcome is conscious completion rather than forcing a relationship that's run its course. Part of this work is gaining clarity about which friendships are meant to evolve and which are meant to end with love and gratitude. I'll support you through either outcome—healing and deepening, or completing with grace.

  • In group therapy, you're working on individual issues with folks you may not know. Here, we're focusing specifically on healing the existing relationships between you. We're looking at your communication patterns, attachment styles, and the deeper soul contracts you're working through together.

  • Deep relational work can bring up intense emotions and old wounds. We'll establish group agreements at the beginning about how to handle difficult moments, including taking breaks when needed. If someone chooses to leave the process, we'll work with the remaining friends on how that impacts the group dynamic.

    Note: while package payments are non-refundable after the first session, we can discuss individual sessions if the group dissolves.

  • Integrating ancient wisdom and tools is an integral part of my approach to healing. Some groups dive deep into karmic themes, others focus more on practical communication tools with spiritual elements. If you’d prefer a purely analytical or cognitive-based approach, this might not be the right fit for you.

  • Many friend groups feel significantly different after our intensive work together, but we can collaboratively decide to extend our engagement and how. Some groups choose to do maintenance sessions quarterly or during transitions. Others start individual therapy to continue their personal work. I also offer friendship "tune-ups" if conflicts arise down the road.

  • I offer both in-person (Brooklyn, NY) and virtual options.

  • The 3-month friendship intensive for is $2,600, which includes 8 sessions together (4 weekly sessions in month one, then 2 bi-weekly sessions in months two and three each). This also includes brief check-in support between sessions if needed.
