Group Services
Facilitated online groups in California. A place to be witnessed, to practice showing up as you actually are, and to find you are not the only one carrying this.
Groups offer something individual therapy cannot: the chance to heal inside relationship and community. You’ll be witnessed and validated, practice authenticity in a safe setting, and find you are not the only one carrying this.
In a culture that often prizes achievement and self-sufficiency, groups remind us we are relational. The work together can reach the isolation, the disconnection, and the sense of being “too much” or “not enough.”
The first session of an ongoing group includes agreements, introductions, and orienting to the process.
CKD: unfiltered
For women navigating the emotional, relational, and existential impact of living with a condition that doesn’t always show on the outside.
CKD can look invisible and still rearrange everything — energy, time, food, work, and the future you thought you were building.
It isn’t only medical. Chronic illness can change how you see yourself, how you relate to others, and how you imagine a life from here.
CKD also intersects with specifically female experiences:
fertility and pregnancy
sexuality and intimacy
marriage and motherhood
body image
gendered expectations around caregiving
This is not a medical education group or a substitute for nephrology care. It is a place to say what living with CKD actually costs.
