New group!! So excited to launch this group with

Using an EMDR group protocol, this unique therapy group offers a somatic, bottom-up approach to facilitate the healing and processing of traumatic aspects of your loss.   Processing these memories will enable you to assimilate and integrate these parts of your life. You will find it easier to recall these difficult moments without being triggered or overwhelmed. Through the group experience, you will develop new coping strategies and reduce feelings of isolation and loneliness as you heal and move forward.

This group is appropriate for all grieving parents, regardless of gender, length of the pregnancy, or how recent the loss.

Reach out to schedule a group intake appointment.

This week is Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week (May 5–11).
Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders impact 1 in 5 birthing people. Often overlooked in this statistic are the women who have experienced a pregnancy or baby loss, where rates can be even higher.  
Pregnancy and baby loss often go unseen—but the grief is real, and so are the mental health struggles that too many face alone. Depression, anxiety, PTSD, rage, numbness, guilt—these are common responses to this unimaginable and unanticipated heartbreak.

Losing a pregnancy, your baby, your imagined future is a painful, often time. While your pain may be invisible to others, it deserves compassion, and your healing deserves support.

You are not alone.

Our SD perinatal therapists’ author’s circle met again this morning .

It’s been 6 months since The Pregnancy and Baby Loss Guided Journal was published, and earlier this month was the 3 year anniversary of The Postpartum Depression Journal.

Being a therapist is a fairly isolating profession, as is writing. So I’m especially grateful for this supportive and inspirational community of writers and therapists.

One thing I’m taking away from today’s meeting is how similar birthing a book is to birthing a baby. There’s often so much attention on the pregnancy/writing that no one could possibly imagine the amount of work it will take to launch the book/parent. The endless marketing, publicity, ongoing research, learning and networking required to reach the readers who need it most. Just like raising a child, meeting their needs at each stage of their development is SO MUCH Work, trying to stay one step ahead and also respond on demand to whatever they throw at you 🙃.

Follow and cheer on this great group! (from left to right)

On this gloomy first Monday of Fall, truly, it’s not always 68 and sunny in San Diego, I thought I’d show my face here since it’s been a while. I also wanted to show off one of my new headshots c/o .luniste .

Why the new headshots? Did you hear? I have a new book coming out October 1st! I had new headshots done for my last book just over 2 years ago, but I wanted a more authentic picture of me on the back— one without the brown colored hair. So anyhow, this photo is getting closer to the authentic me you’d meet on the street, via zoom or in my office… Truth be told, I hired someone to do my makeup this day, hence “getting closer”. Back to the book—

The Pregnancy and Baby Loss Guided Journal is already landing in mailboxes near and far. Have you gotten your copy yet?

This book is for anyone who’s lost a pregnancy or baby due to miscarriage, a molar, chemical, or ectopic pregnancy, termination for medical reasons or stillbirth. Those who lost a baby shortly after birth may also find this journal a helpful place to process and grieve.

I tried my hardest to write a book that encourages readers to get in touch with their authentic selves, with invitations to feel all the emotions, process the pain, and celebrate the work being done to show up vulnerably through the darkness of grief.

*I’m looking for a few more early readers/reviewers. If this is you, please send me a dm!*

I’m thrilled to announce that my second book, “The Pregnancy & Baby Loss Guided Journal”, will be available on October 1st! You can preorder it now wherever books are sold, and also through the link in my bio.

If you’re grieving the loss of your baby and the dreams of the life you imagined, this journal will help you process your thoughts and feelings and develop self-compassion as you look to the future with renewed hope.

Consider sharing this with someone who is grieving and would love to know you’re thinking of them✨
