A Community for clinicians
A place for those of us who hold stories to process our own.
Bi-weekly journaling. No case consultations. No jargon. Just your voice.
Thursdays 9-10am PST
Weekly July 13 - August 17
The stories we hear in the therapy room have taught us something ordinary readers don't always have: an ear for what is not being said. We notice the body language in a scene, the deflection in a line of dialogue, the way a character frames their own suffering to make it tolerable. We track attachment dynamics in fictional relationships with the same instincts we bring to our clients.
This is a gift — and also a kind of loneliness. Reading with this depth and finding no one to share it with. Catching something profound in a novel about addiction, or shame, or maternal ambivalence, and having nowhere to take it.
This book club is that somewhere.

Therapist journaling club
Inspired by the transformative work of Suleika Jaouad, this isn't a writing class or a peer supervision group. This is a Creative Container.
Every week, we gather to put down the "Therapist Mask" and pick up the pen as a community.
Through guided prompts, quiet reflection, and communal witnessing, we process the "messy gold" of our work and the beauty of our lives. No critiquing, no clinical case consultations—just the restorative power of the pen & the page.
Next cohort: September 21 - October 26
❋ Intentional Structure
I believe in seasons, not "forever" commitments. We meet in 3-month cohorts to build deep safety and true community. Cohorts are limited to groups of 10 clinicians.
Spring: March - May
Summer: July - August
Fall: September - November
Winter: December - February
❋ Format
Six weekly hour long sessions via Zoom. On Monday prior to meeting, the group will be emailed a “spark” (could be poetry, art or an essay). During the meeting, a prompt related to the spark will be shared and participants will journal together and have the option to share. Cohorts run seasonally.
Thursdays 9-10am pst

❋ Flow
A somatic grounding →
A "Spark" (poetry or art emailed beforehand) →
Timed writing to a specific prompt →
A "Sacred Echo" (voluntary sharing).
❋ Vibe
Low pressure, high soul. Come as you are—sweatpants, unfinished client notes, and unpolished thoughts are mandatory. While I will be a facilitator, this is not a therapy group; rather a group for therapists.

❋ Intentional Structure
The Collective Unconscious
The books a culture devours at a given moment are a kind of cultural symptom. We read to understand what the zeitgeist is working through — what anxieties, hungers, and unresolved questions are circulating in the room.
❋ Format
The last Friday of every month is now yours to enjoy. We’ll meet monthly following the schedule of books. In November and December we will meet on the 3rd Friday due to holidays.

❋ Flow
Fiction gives us a third space — where our own material can surface safely, held in the container of a character's story rather than our own.
Monthly sessions will be 55 minutes and lightly structured.
❋ Vibe
Let us witness human identity.
Fiction lets us encounter lives radically unlike our own — and recognize ourselves anyway. We read for selfhood: for the question of how people become who they are, and what it costs them.
