Parental Leave Book Club & Support Group

Have you had a baby in the last six months? 

Are you lost in the endless rhythm of nap, change, feed, repeat? 

Are you a little bored, a little lonely, a little stir-crazy, and looking for a chance to get out of the nursery to chat with some other grown ups?

For you, I offer the inaugural Parental Leave Book Club!

We will be reading (or audiobooking) books about taking care of tiny babies in manageable chunks. We will use our reading as a jumping-off point to discuss new-parent life in all its complexity. Make friends, explore new ideas, commiserate about challenges, and enjoy treats together!

In person at 4147 N. Ravenswood Ave, Ste 302

Tuesdays, 1-2:15 pm

$120 per month (one month = 4 weekly meetings = one book)

Pre-walking babies welcome; private feeding and changing space available in the suite

Dads, non-birthing partners, couples attending together, adoptive parents, and parents who are not on parental leave are welcome (it’s just a catchy title).

I am a licensed clinical social worker with eight years of post-graduate experience in a variety of settings with parents of children under five, pregnant people, couples, PhD and MBA students, and other adults in their 20s, 30s, and 40s. I am Perinatal Mental Health Certified and use an integrative, trauma-informed and attachment-based approach. I’m also an English major and the biggest reader on the planet. Seriously, I’ve read everything.
