grief changes us.

Whether your loss is recent or long ago, expected or sudden, visible to others or held quietly inside — grief deserves space, compassion, and care. Many people feel pressure to “move on,” “stay strong,” or minimize their pain. In therapy, you don’t have to do that.

I offer a space where your grief can be honored without being rushed or fixed.

Pregnancy & Postpartum Grief and Loss

Some losses are invisible to the world — but life-altering to the heart.

If you have experienced miscarriage, a diagnosis of fetal anomalies, termination for medical reasons (TFMR), stillbirth, or the death of your baby, you are carrying a grief that is profound and complex. This kind of loss touches your body, your identity, your relationship, your faith, your sense of safety — and your hopes for the future.

And often, it is not talked about nearly enough.

You may feel:

• Shock, numbness, or disbelief

• Deep sadness alongside guilt or self-blame

• Anger at your body, medical providers, or God

• Isolation when others don’t understand

• Anxiety about future pregnancies

• Triggered by pregnancy announcements or baby milestones

• A sense that your baby is forgotten by everyone else

Your grief is real.
Your baby matters.
Your experience deserves care.

Miscarriage & Recurrent Pregnancy Loss

Miscarriage is common — but that does not make it small.

Whether your loss occurred early or later in pregnancy, whether others knew or not, the attachment and dreams you held were real. Recurrent loss can compound the trauma, leaving you feeling guarded, fearful, or disconnected from hope.

In therapy, we gently process:

• The shock and physical experience of miscarriage

• Medical trauma or complicated care experiences

• The impact on your sense of trust in your body

• Fear and hypervigilance in subsequent pregnancies

• Relationship strain that can follow repeated loss

There is no timeline for “trying again.” There is no right way to grieve.

Fetal Anomalies & Termination for Medical Reasons (TFMR)

Receiving a diagnosis of fetal anomalies can shatter your world overnight.

You may have been forced to make impossible decisions in an impossibly short amount of time. If you chose termination for medical reasons, you may carry layers of grief mixed with guilt, doubt, or fear of judgment — even when you know you made the most loving choice you could.

This type of grief is often complicated and isolating.

Our work may include:

• Processing the trauma of diagnosis and decision-making

• Creating space for both love and grief to coexist

• Untangling shame from sorrow

• Exploring moral injury or spiritual questions

• Honoring your baby and your parenting in meaningful ways

You do not have to defend your story here.

Stillbirth & Infant Loss

The death of a baby is a loss that reshapes everything.

You may be navigating:

• Traumatic birth memories

• Empty arms and an empty nursery

• Physical postpartum recovery without your baby

• Lactation after loss

• A world that keeps moving while yours has stopped

• The fear that people will forget your child’s name

Grief after stillbirth or infant loss is not only emotional — it is embodied. Your nervous system, hormones, and attachment system have all been impacted.

In therapy, I offer:

• Trauma-informed processing of medical or birth experiences

• Support for postpartum hormonal shifts and mood symptoms

• Space to speak your baby’s name and tell your story

• Tools to manage triggers, panic, or intrusive memories

• Guidance for navigating relationships and social settings

• Support in future pregnancy after loss

Your baby’s life matters — no matter how brief.

How I Approach This Work

I approach pregnancy and infant loss therapy with deep respect for attachment, trauma, and the sacredness of your story.

My work is:

• Attachment-based

• Emotion-focused

• Trauma-informed

• Gentle and paced according to your nervous system

Healing does not mean forgetting.
It does not mean replacing.
It does not mean “moving on.”

It means learning how to carry your baby’s memory without being crushed by the weight of it.

It means allowing joy and grief to coexist.
It means reclaiming parts of yourself that feel shattered.
It means finding steadiness again — at your own pace.

How I Help with Grief & Loss

Grief is not something we cure — it’s something we learn to carry differently.

In our work together, I help you:

• Process the emotions that feel overwhelming, confusing, or stuck

• Understand how grief is showing up in your body, relationships, and daily life

• Navigate anger, guilt, regret, or unfinished conversations

• Make meaning of your loss in a way that feels authentic to you

• Stay connected to what (or who) matters while still moving forward

I draw from attachment-based therapy, emotion-focused approaches, and trauma-informed care to gently support you as you integrate your loss into your life story — without losing yourself in it.

There is no “right way” to grieve. We work at your pace.
