Therapy for Fertility, Pregnancy Loss, and Parenthood Transitions

For when the journey into parenthood, and parenting itself, feels heavier than expected.

Supporting individuals and parents navigating fertility and IVF stress, pregnancy and loss, and the postpartum period in S. Florida, NorCal, SoCal, Nashville and Williamson County.

Certain transitions in life can quietly unsettle our sense of stability and self. The process of becoming a parent, and navigating life as a parent, can surface grief, uncertainty, and emotional strain that doesn’t always have clear language or resolution. Many people find themselves holding these experiences privately, unsure where to place what they’re carrying.

Therapy can offer a place to slow down, make sense of what you’re carrying, say what you’re feeling out loud and find steadiness within experiences that may not have a clear resolution.

You might be here because:

  • You’re postpartum or parenting and struggling more than you expected (even if you appear to be managing it all).

  • Your path into parenthood has been complicated (loss, medical stress, donor conception, IVF, IUI, adoption, or nontraditional family-building).

  • Feeling invisible or irrelevant if you don’t yet have children.

  • Parenting alone, after divorce, or outside of traditional family structures.

  • Navigating the emotional weight of caring for a child with special needs or struggling to manage your own mental health challenges, including ADHD, Autism, Mood Disorders, or recovery.

  • Worrying you’re “too much,” or that no one truly understands what you’re carrying.

  • Struggling with boundaries with parents, in-laws, friends, or even yourself.

  • When “gentle parenting” feels impossible, even though you care deeply and are trying.

What I Hold Sacred in This Work

This work is rooted in the belief that experiences of fertility challenges, pregnancy loss, grieving hopes and dreams, high-risk pregnancies, postpartum heaviness and parenthood struggles are often lived quietly and carried privately. When these life experiences don’t fit the cultural narratives of how families are “supposed” to look or feel, they can be overwhelming in ways you never expected. I value making space for the realities that are rarely named: ambivalence, grief without clear resolution, invisible labor, and the loneliness that can exist even in your most deeply wanted roles.

I propose a space where complexity is allowed to remain complex. Where you are not asked to justify your choices, soften your story, hide your truth or move on before you’re ready. The purpose of this work is not to reframe your experience into something more acceptable, but to offer grounded support, emotional safety, and moments of relief. Here, there is room to exist as you are without comparison, urgency, or judgement.

All Families Welcome

Families and relationships take many forms, and there is no single “right” way to become a parent, build a family, or navigate a partnership. I work with individuals and couples across a wide range of family structures, identities, and lived experiences.

This includes those navigating fertility treatment, adoption, donor conception, surrogacy, pregnancy loss, postpartum transitions, parenting stress, or raising children with support needs, as well as individuals and couples seeking support around relationship challenges, communication, or life transitions—whether or not parenting is part of the picture.

My practice is affirming of LGBTQIA+ individuals and families, single parents by choice, nontraditional and blended families, and those whose experiences may not be easily visible or understood. Care is grounded in respect, nuance, and collaboration.

If you’re wondering whether your experience “counts,” you’re likely in the right place.

My Approach

My approach is relational, collaborative, integrative and responsive to each client’s needs. I create space for reflection, emotional processing, and meaning-making, adapting the work to what feels most supportive in the moment. Care is inclusive of all family structures and affirming of diverse families. This work is not limited to married couples and includes individuals, single parents by choice, and families formed through adoption, donor conception, or gestational carriers.

Clients often tell me this work feels steady, grounding and relieving-not because everything is “fixed,” but because they are no longer carrying it alone.

When words feel limiting, I may incorporate gentle experiential or creative elements to support experiences that are difficult to articulate. These approaches are always optional and guided by your comfort level.

Therapy Services

  • Individual therapy offers space to slow down, reflect, and process emotional experiences related to fertility challenges, loss, postpartum adjustment, and parenting stress. Some concerns benefit from practical support, while others call for compassion, acceptance, and support in learning how to live alongside what cannot be changed.

  • Couples and relational therapy supports partners and families navigating fertility journeys, pregnancy loss, and parenting-related stress.

    It is also a space for couples seeking support with communication, conflict, emotional distance, or relationship transitions outside of parenthood.

  • Group therapy may be offered for individuals and couples navigating fertility challenges, pregnancy loss, postpartum adjustment, or parenting experiences that differ from what was initially envisioned.

    Groups are intentionally small and offered based on interest and availability.

Fees & Logistics

  • Individual Therapy: $225

  • Couples & Family Therapy (includes Parent + Child therapy): $275

  • All services are private pay. Services are provided via telehealth.

  • I provide therapy via telehealth for adults, couples, and parents.; I do not provide child-only therapy.

I can empathize with how much reaching out for therapy can feel vulnerable, especially during periods of transition or exhaustion.
