THERE’S NOTHING SIMPLE ABOUT THIS STAGE.
Maybe you’re going through fertility treatments and feel like your body, your emotions, and your relationship are no longer your own.
Maybe you're pregnant after loss and wrestling with fear, disconnection, or a quiet sense of dread when others expect only joy.
Maybe you’re postpartum and feeling completely touched out, stuck in cycles of anxiety, resentment, guilt, or grief. You might be mourning your identity, crying while feeding your baby at 2am, or arguing with your partner more than ever.
Or maybe your journey has included trauma—miscarriage, stillbirth, a traumatic birth experience, or the unimaginable loss of a child—and you’re left feeling numb, hypervigilant, or consumed by fear that something else will go wrong.
Whatever your specific path, you’re not alone.
And you don’t have to keep pushing through in silence.
THIS WORK MATTERS—BECAUSE YOUR MENTAL HEALTH IS THE FOUNDATION.
Reproductive challenges don’t just impact your body.
They affect your identity, your relationship, your sense of safety, your sexuality, and your ability to connect with others. It’s no wonder so many people feel isolated—even if they’re surrounded by friends or family.
As a licensed psychologist and certified couples therapist with lived experience in this space, I bring both clinical expertise and deep personal compassion to this work.
Validating what you’re feeling—even the parts that feel "wrong" or messy
Rebuilding connection with your partner when intimacy or communication breaks down
Understanding how trauma or early experiences shape your response to this season
Developing more self-compassion and tools for nervous system regulation
THIS IS A DEEPLY VULNERABLE TIME—BUT YOU DON’T HAVE TO CARRY IT ALONE.
You're allowed to need support.
You're allowed to grieve, rage, numb out, or fall apart.
And you're allowed to want more for yourself and your relationship—even now.
