Therapy for Infertility, Pregnancy Loss, and Reproductive Trauma
Oakland, CA & Online Across California
You can do everything “right” and still feel like your body is failing you.
Let’s talk about what no one else knows how to hold.
Infertility and pregnancy loss can leave you feeling helpless, unseen, and like your body has betrayed you.
You’ve followed the rules. You’ve done the treatments, waited through cycles, held your breath with every test—and still, it hasn’t gone the way you hoped.
Or maybe you were pregnant, and now you’re not, and it feels like no one around you really knows what to say.
Each new pregnancy announcement can feel like a private heartbreak you’re expected to quietly carry.
You ask yourself, “Why her and not me?”
It’s an invisible grief that can affect every part of your life.
Even if you’ve never said it out loud, you’re carrying a weight that deserves to be witnessed and understood.
Wherever you are in this process, your experience is valid.
Therapy that honors both the grief and the hope
You don’t need to keep pretending everything’s fine.
I offer therapy that is warm, grounded, and nonjudgmental.
With over 30 years of clinical experience in reproductive and perinatal mental health, I’ve helped many women and couples through the most painful parts of their journey to parenthood.
This work isn’t about “fixing” your feelings.
It’s about giving space for your full emotional experience while helping you stay connected to the parts of you that still hope.
Therapy for infertility and pregnancy loss can help you:
Find peace while honoring your grief
Reconnect with your body with greater gentleness and compassion
Manage anxiety, sadness, and medical trauma
Make space for both mourning and meaning
Explore new paths to parenthood
Heal from painful memories and reproductive loss
Feel less alone in your experience
There’s no “right way” to grieve this.
But there is support.
Infertility and pregnancy loss don’t define your worth.
You deserve care, support, and a space where your experience is fully understood.
If you’re ready, we can talk.
