Becoming a parent after infertility presents unique challenges to early parenthood. We may feel not only exhausted, anxious, or sad at times-- emotional hallmarks of new parenting-- but perhaps also guilty or ashamed because of how much we wanted to become parents or how hard we worked to become parents. Because of these unique emotional hallmarks of parenting after fertility challenges, we may miss out on opportunities to connect with and receive support from other parents. So let’s come together in a safe space to support each other on our unique parenting journeys. We hope you will join us!

For over 35 years, as both a fertility psychologist and OB/GYN with a strong interest in infertility, I have loved helping people on their fertility journey. Are you on a fertility journey? Have you experienced obstacles along the way? Perhaps nothing is as disempowering as struggling with fertility. For many of us, issues with fertility mark the first time that we've wanted our bodies to do something that they seem not capable of doing. Challenges with fertility are traumatic experiences. Is it any wonder why we may be struggling?

This is a group for men who are in Recovery from alcohol or drug abuse. For these life changes to stick we need a few things: Community, accountability, a new routine, healthy habits, and a chance to explore who we are and why we do what we do. This group is for men who want to grow, want connection, and who desire to live free from the preoccupation of wanting substances to cope with life. This will be a small group of 5-6 men. The format is called a "process group", meaning an open discussion format.

As a psychotherapist in private practice, I specialize in working with couples and men's issues. Couples often face a range of challenges that can strain their relationship, including communication breakdowns, unresolved conflicts, intimacy issues, and differing expectations. These difficulties can lead to feelings of frustration, resentment, and a sense of drifting apart. I help couples navigate these obstacles, fostering understanding, improving communication, and rebuilding trust to create a healthier and more fulfilling partnership. In addition to couples, I also work with men, addressing the specific issues they may encounter.

This is a very lively and committed group of professional women who are dedicated to working deeply to address and eliminate the barriers that prevent them from living as fully and vibrantly as possible. We do individual and interactional work, addressing psychological as well as spiritual concerns. I co-lead this group with Michele Truxillo, LCSW
I work with adults and older adolescents who are dealing with issues related to depression, anxiety, post traumatic stress, relationships, achievement and success, chronic illness, transitions, early attachment problems, self-esteem, addictions, betrayal, and general problems in living.
I focus on self-acceptance and growth rather than on pathology and "change." I believe we are all in this together; I take the journey with my clients rather than thinking I know what is best for them. I think questions are often more important than answers. My motto is: Less judgment, more curiosity.

I believe that we are all trying our best and that we are the experts on ourselves and our families. However sometimes life brings us more than we know how to handle, and we may see symptoms of anxiety, PTSD, and unhealthy or disruptive behavior in ourselves, our relationships, and our children. This can leave us feeling frustrated, hopeless, and isolated as individuals, couples, and parents. Thankfully, therapy can help us and our children move beyond our pain, fear, and destructive behavior, and toward a greater sense of peace, happiness, and belonging.
We are excited to have openings in our virtual Parenting Psychoeducation and Support Group. Parenting comes with its own unique challenges that change over time. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to connect with and receive support from other parents? So, let’s come together in a safe space to support each other on our unique parenting journeys. We hope you will join us!

This supervision group is for therapists who want to improve both clinical and business skills to develop and grow their practices. The group involves both didactic and personal work and is encouraging and supportive.
Our professional relationship needs to be a collaborative and connecting experience. Your input and feedback are essential ingredients in getting where you want to go while my job is to understand your goals and needs and observe which methods might work best for you. I am a seasoned, ethical psychologist with 30 years of experience. My clients vary from young adults to elders. Some seek life coaching or a consultation for a specific problem while others are in distress and want major changes. In general my clients describe me as warm and encouraging, with an ability to see patterns, clarify situations and identify alternatives.
Are you on a fertility journey? Have you experienced obstacles along the way? Perhaps nothing is as disempowering as struggling with fertility. We are proud to offer a safe, compassionate, and supportive place to help emotionally empower women on a fertility journey. We hope that you will consider joining us!

My personal and professional experience with mental health began not as a therapist, rather as an advocate for equality in the women’s health community. It is my passion for social justice that has led me to the sacred space in which I can now support others. I trust the power of acceptance and genuineness. I believe that when we are true to self, growth and healing can naturally occur.
This group is for anyone over 21, of all genders and sexual orientations, who are eager to learn how to deepen their connections with themselves and others, improve interpersonal skills and increase distress tolerance, learn to fully embrace their value, and want the company and support of like-minded individuals who, like themselves, are eager to make their lives more meaningful and happier.
