Support for the hope, waiting, and grief of trying to grow your family

FERTILITY & PREGNANCY LOSS THERAPY

Trying to conceive can take over your calendar, your body, and your heart. Loss can leave a grief that others may not see. Whatever your path has looked like, you deserve a place to set it down and be understood.

You may be feeling…

These feelings are common on the path to parenthood. They don't mean you're handling it badly. They mean you're carrying something heavy.

  • Worn down by cycles of hope and disappointment

  • Angry at, or disconnected from, your own body

  • Grieving a loss that others don't seem to see

  • Anxious through every appointment and every wait

  • Strain with your partner over timing, money, or next steps

  • Afraid to hope during a pregnancy after loss

  • Isolated as friends and family announce pregnancies

  • Overwhelmed by decisions about treatment

  • Unsure who you are outside of trying

YOUR GRIEF IS REAL

When a loss goes unseen

Miscarriage, stillbirth, a failed transfer, or a pregnancy that ended for medical reasons can bring deep grief, even when no one else knew. You may feel pressure to move on quickly. Here, there's no timeline. Your loss matters, and so does the way you're carrying it.

We'll begin with a thorough assessment and build a plan around what matters most to you. Depending on where you are, our work may include:

How therapy can help

  • Support through IUI, IVF, and the long waits in between.

  • Gentle support after miscarriage, stillbirth, or a failed cycle.

  • Support for you as you navigate strain with a partner, family, and friends.

  • Space to think through next steps, pauses, and other paths to parenthood.

  • Practical CBT tools for worry, waiting, and pregnancy after loss.

Postdoctoral

Training in fertility counseling

Why work with a fertility-trained psychologist?

Fertility care has its own language, timelines, and pressures. With postdoctoral training in fertility counseling and a Perinatal Mental Health Certification (PMH-C), I understand the emotional side of treatment, loss, and pregnancy after loss, so you don't have to explain the basics before we can begin.

Common questions

  • No. You're welcome whether you're just starting to try, in the middle of treatment, taking a break, or deciding what comes next.

  • Yes. Grief isn't measured in weeks. An early loss can be just as painful, especially when it was hoped for or hard-won.

  • Yes. Therapy can offer support with stress, waiting, and decisions during treatment. It works alongside your medical care and doesn't replace it.

  • Yes. Anxiety during a pregnancy after loss is very common, and support can help you carry both hope and fear.

  • I'm a private-pay practice and provide superbills for out-of-network reimbursement. I'm also in-network with Aetna and Medicare in California.

  • Sessions are 100% virtual by secure video, for women located in California or Texas.
