Support Group for Women Living with Depression

I am pleased to tell you about the new group I'll be facilitating - it's for women who are navigating through depression: Join women like yourself who seek a path through the experience of depression. In this educational support group, we'll take a mind-body approach to understanding and reversing the role depression plays in our lives. You'll learn to cultivate a greater capacity for self-compassion, discover meaningful ways to contribute to the community, and deepen your connection to yourself and others. Together we'll move from seeing the world as a small place, to remembering the many possibilities that await us.
