I am so happy to be in the second cohort of the Rewilding group with Meg Mattingley! We enjoyed meeting in the rain at Balcones District Park on Friday!

Thank you to Kara at Casa de Miel for teaching Maysie how to groom sweet Juno!

I am just beginning to digest my experience at AGPA Connect ‘26. Group therapy is the real deal, I feel more nourished and challenged at this conference than in any other professional event! Some major highlights are featured, from the left corner clockwise: I was awarded Fellowship this year, recognized for my investment in AGPA and contribution to the field of Group Psychotherapy; I celebrated at Nobu with another social worker and incoming Fellow, Donna Harris; reveling in our work being featured in the onsite bookstore with fellow social worker, dear friend and my supervisor/consultant since 2002 (!) Jeanne Bunker, HGPS friends Marina Rathjens and Lauren Ziff, celebrating the tenure of my dear mentor Ginger Sullivan and the AGPA Co-Chairs dinner, with my dear Queens Karly Marx and Sinclair after their second annual “Queening Out” Open Session, and with Karly aka John Stitt before the transformation! I loved seeing so many if you there and sharing in hugs, discussion, connection.

I was so happy to finally meet Bianca Lyder of The Lyder Foundation in person! I am honored to be on the board of this organization dedicated to raising awareness and providing support to people of color who struggle with body-focused repetitive behaviors!
