Reproductive Loss

When the Unthinkable Happens...


Pregnancy loss, stillbirth, infant loss, failed fertility treatment, pregnancy termination for medical reasons, and reproductive trauma can shatter our assumptions about ourselves and the world around us.

Many people arrive in my office carrying grief. What they are often less prepared for is the trauma, rage, confusion, isolation, and existential upheaval that accompany reproductive loss. You may find yourself asking questions that have no easy answers.

 

Why did this happen?

Will I ever feel like myself again?

How do I trust my body?

How do I move forward without leaving my baby behind?

Why does everyone else seem to have moved on when I cannot?

 

The truth is that reproductive loss is not simply the loss of a pregnancy or a child. It is often the loss of a future, an identity, a relationship to your body, a sense of safety, and sometimes even your understanding of what it means to be in the world. The depth of this grief can feel overwhelming. It can also feel incredibly lonely. You do not have to navigate it alone.
 

Areas of Support

I work with individuals and couples experiencing:

• Miscarriage and recurrent pregnancy loss

• Stillbirth and infant loss

• Pregnancy termination for medical reasons (TFMR)

• Infertility and fertility treatment

• Secondary infertility

• Pregnancy after loss

• Anxiety and depression related to reproductive experiences

• Relationship strain following loss

• Existential and spiritual questions arising from grief
 

My Approach

As a therapist specializing in perinatal mental health and reproductive loss, I draw from Spiritual Depth Psychology, trauma informed care, Narrative Therapy, and evidence based approaches to grief and trauma treatment. I also understand personally that reproductive loss often exists beyond diagnosis and symptom reduction.


Many clients find themselves confronting questions about love, meaning, faith, identity, motherhood, fatherhood, and the fragility of life itself. These conversations are welcome here. Therapy can be a place to process traumatic memories, navigate relationships, prepare for future pregnancies, honor your baby’s memory, and make sense of experiences that feel impossible to put into words.
 

For Mothers, Fathers, and Partners

Loss impacts every member of a family differently. Partners often grieve in different ways, at different speeds, and with different needs. This can create distance during a time when connection is needed most. Whether you are seeking individual therapy or support as a couple, I help families navigate the complex emotional landscape that follows reproductive loss with compassion, honesty, and care.
 

There Is No Right Way To Grieve

You do not need to be less sad.

You do not need to be more hopeful.

You do not need to find a silver lining.

You do not need to have answers.

Whether your loss happened weeks ago or decades ago, your grief deserves space.

And so does your love.

If you are looking for support after reproductive loss, I would be honored to walk alongside you.
