Taking some time on this rainy Saturday to write notes to the winners of my recent Goodreads Giveaway. More than 1,400 people entered. That number makes my heart ache—so many people searching for healing.

I’m grateful to Goodreads for creating a space where books like this can reach people who might not have known they existed. I’ve been thinking about the ten winners and wondering whether this journal is for them, or for a partner, friend, or family member they’re hoping to support.

Self-help books and guided journals aren’t traditional holiday gifts, but they can be life-changing. It’s often hard to know how to help someone grieving the life they imagined; small acts of love can mean so much.

The Pregnancy and Baby Loss Guided Journal is available through Amazon, Target, Barnes & Noble, and many independent booksellers. And through the link in my bio.

Support groups and process groups both offer connection and healing — but they serve different purposes.

💬 Support groups provide shared understanding, validation, and a sense of community.
🪞 Process groups invite deeper exploration, insight, and growth through the therapeutic process itself.

Both can be transformative, and sometimes one is a bridge to the other.

I currently offer several therapy groups for women, including a Women’s Empowerment and Process Group, two Infertility Groups, and a Pregnancy and Baby Loss EMDR Group. Each group offers a different path toward understanding, connection, healing, and growth.

If you’re a therapist with clients who might benefit, or if you’re considering group therapy for yourself, you can learn more through the link in my bio.

Did you know that up to 40% of couples discontinue fertility treatment due to psychological distress?

Infertility is an emotional rollercoaster—one that often intensifies during the holiday season. Between social events, family gatherings, and constant reminders of pregnancy and parenthood, it’s easy to feel isolated and overwhelmed.

If you’re craving a space where you don’t have to explain yourself—a place to connect with others who truly get it—this group may be for you.

✨My final infertility group of 2025 starts next week, offering a space to talk openly, learn stress management strategies, and connect with other women who understand this experience.

Details and enrollment info are available through the link in my profile.

October 15th is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day.

For me, this day is about community—about decreasing the isolation and loneliness that so often accompany pregnancy and baby loss.

When I began my work with pregnant and parenting teens in 2008, I knew supporting postpartum families would one day be part of my private practice. What I didn’t know was how my own family-building journey would shape that work. Losing three pregnancies taught me firsthand about the depth of loneliness and invisibility so many experience—even when surrounded by caring friends and family.

This day, and this campaign, are about breaking the silence. About educating our broader community on the prevalence of pregnancy and baby loss, reducing stigma, and fostering the connection that’s so needed in these dark and tender times.

✨ 1 in 4 experience a miscarriage
✨ 1 in 160 experience a stillbirth
✨ 1 in 50–100 experience an ectopic pregnancy
✨ 1 in 100 experience recurrent pregnancy loss

All these years later, I still carry the grief of what was—and what will never be. Today, we remember together. For every parent who has experienced loss, and for every baby who is deeply loved and never forgotten. 💗

Last night I had the privilege of being a featured author alongside at ‘s social and inaugural “Meet the Authors” event.

PHA has become my professional home here in San Diego for over a decade. Back in 2012, while working with pregnant and parenting teens at the school district, I sought out their monthly study group to learn more about perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, and never looked back.

After starting my private practice and training in EMDR, I helped found that study group, which became another pillar in my development. Recently, a collection of us united to form yet another supportive network for writers and authors.

Getting my masters on the east coast and moving to San Diego left a gap in my professional community. PHA, with its study groups and educational CEU luncheons (from the pre-pandemic days) and virtual workshops, has been more than an academic resource for me. It’s the place I’ve found community and cultivated deep friendships among an incredible group of professionals who are passionate about supporting families through the adjustment to parenthood.

With only one paid staff member, PHA operates primarily through volunteer energy, nominal member dues, small grants, and donations from community members like you.

If you’d like to purchase a copy of either of my books, with proceeds going to PHA, whether you’re a local member or not, please dm me for a payment link and to discuss shipping/pick up options.

And if I haven’t sold you on membership yet, please reach out so I can tell you more about PHA✨.

Reflections from members of our last 8-week pregnancy & baby loss group we’d like to share.

Through EMDR, journaling, and expressive arts, members found healing in community, compassion, and self-understanding. Here are some of the ways participants described their growth:

💜 Less isolation
💜 More self-compassion
💜 A deeper understanding of grief and trauma
💜 New ways to process loss
💜 Feeling seen and not alone

Grief is heavy but it doesn’t have to be carried alone💫

Enrollment is now open for our next group that starts on October 1st! Reach out to schedule an intake appointment and secure your spot. Open to only 8 individuals.
