A 60-minute in-person support group. For moms who have experienced termination, miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant loss. Grief like this does not follow a timeline, and it is not something you have to carry alone or explain to people who do not understand. This group is a space to be with other moms who know exactly what you mean when words run out. Led by myself and bereaved mother/best friend, Jeanette Soriano, this space is held with deep compassion for the realities of reproductive loss and the mental health weight it carries.

It is also a place to share our intentions and prayers for those we love in the ways that most fit for each of us. We will meet online.

This group is designed to target the specific needs of the 'sandwich generation’: those who are simultaneously nurturing the growth of children and attending to physical or mental decline in their parents. Caregivers are often pulled by competing forces that leave them little time for self-care, reflection and nurturing support. If this description resonates for you, consider carving out special time just for yourself on Friday afternoons to be part of this group. This will be held online or via Zoom to accommodate caregiver schedules.

Grieving and processing the pain of a pregnancy loss is physically and emotionally consuming. Space and care are needed to move through shock, anger and sadness. It isn't uncommon to feel defective, angry, jealous or hopeless as other people become pregnant, have babies and carry on while you feel like your dreams have been shattered. Connect with others and feel less alone while processing your loss in a safe, non-judgmental space. Please RSVP to receive zoom link.
While my primary area of expertise is supporting women's wellness and maternal mental health, including helping women successfully navigate relationship difficulties, perinatal anxiety and depression, grief and loss, and trauma; whatever you're struggling with, I'm here help you slow down, challenge limiting beliefs, embrace every part of who you are, and authentically connect with those you love.

Grief Support Groups
How long does therapy take for grief?
There is no exact timeline for grief counseling. Some people may start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may take months or longer to feel relief. Some specific approaches, including some types of CBT, may involve a set number of sessions, or therapy may be open-ended until the patient determines they are ready to wrap up. Just as there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there is no right or wrong way to seek therapy for grief.
When should you seek therapy for grief?
Many people mistakenly believe that their grief needs to be debilitating or all-encompassing to warrant therapy. This is not the case. While people who experience severe, prolonged grief—particularly those who are considering self-harm or engaging in unhealthy substance use—are especially likely to benefit from therapy, so too are people whose grief is less intense but still interfering with well-being or daily functioning. In practice, almost anyone struggling to process a loss could benefit from grief counseling.
Can grief be managed without therapy?
Oftentimes, yes. Grief is a near-universal part of being human, and many find that their grief, while profound, does not stop them from participating in day-to-day life and steadily eases over time without outside help. For others, however, the harsh pain of early grief persists for months or years or leaves them unable to function. This group is especially likely to benefit from seeing a therapist, who can guide them through their grief and help them reconnect with the world.
What happens if grief is left untreated?
Because grief does not in itself necessitate therapy, untreated grief will often resolve on its own. However, for some people—particularly those who would qualify for a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder—untreated grief can be a source of seemingly endless pain or lead them to withdraw from the world. In such cases, treatment can be indispensable, as it can help an individual adapt to the loss and start living again.
