I specialize in therapy for infertility and pregnancy loss (e.g., miscarriage, stillbirth, recurrent pregnancy loss, terminations for fetal anomalies), helping individuals and couples to process and grow from the trauma and loss associated with these experiences.
My approach to treatment is to provide clients with an empathic, collaborative, and trusting therapist-client relationship in which feelings related to infertility and loss can be experienced and worked through. Therapy can help grieving parents to mourn the loss of a pregnancy through providing the validation, comfort, and support often missing in society.
