Perinatal, Postpartum & Peripartum Help for Women and Men

welcome

Hello, and welcome. Finding a therapist can be hard work. Looking for a therapist can feel overwhelming, defeating, and boring. If you are reading this, you are probably hurting. I can help.

I wonder what’s coming up for you now as you sift through websites, look at pictures of therapists, and read through their bios. Are you going through them with a fine-toothed comb? Or are you skimming them? What physical sensations are you feeling in your body? What stories, thoughts, ideas, fantasies, longings, desires, and questions are coming up for you? What emotions?

Together we will work to make space for your feelings and emotions to come up and come out, to practice putting your thoughts and feelings into words not actions, and to provide you with opportunities to address underlying patterns. More connection, calm, and clarity are possible.

ask me about my groups
  • Group Therapy, Group Psychotherapy, and Group Work are all the same thing.
  • In group therapy, the group is a microcosm of the macro world in which we live, and the group provides a space to replicate (and then process and understand) our outside experiences in the small group.
  • Group therapy differs from support and self-help groups in that group therapy is led by a professionally trained therapist, focuses on relationships and the present moment, and provides opportunities for addressing underlying patterns, in addition to helping people cope.
  • A typical group session lasts about 90 minutes and members work to put into words their own feelings, thoughts, and reactions as freely and honestly as possible.
  • Some of my groups meet in-person, while others meet online. I do not offer hybrid.
  • Some people choose to do only group therapy. Others choose to do group therapy in addition to individual, couples, or family therapy.
