Perinatal and Reproductive Mental Health
Support for the seasons that changed your body and your life
This space is for people navigating pregnancy, postpartum, fertility treatment, reproductive decisions, and loss. On the outside you might look like you are doing everything you are supposed to do. On the inside you might feel anxious, numb, angry, heartbroken, or like a stranger in your own life.
Maybe you went through a complicated or traumatic birth. Maybe you are in the middle of IVF cycles that have taken over your calendar, your body, and your sense of hope. Maybe you have experienced miscarriage, recurrent loss, abortion, stillbirth, or infant loss and the world has moved on while your body and heart have not.
In this work you do not have to be glowing, grateful, or “strong.” You get to be honest. We make room for the parts of this season that do not fit on a baby announcement or in small talk.
Who this work is for
People who are pregnant, postpartum, or somewhere in between and do not feel like themselves. People who hoped for this season and are still struggling, or who did not plan for this season and feel complicated about it.
People going through fertility treatment, IVF, donor or surrogate paths, or decisions about if, when, or how to try again. People who feel like their body has become a project with deadlines instead of a home.
People carrying grief after miscarriage, abortion, recurrent pregnancy loss, stillbirth, or infant loss. People whose medical or hospital experiences were traumatic, dismissive, or shaming, and whose bodies still react as if they are back in that room.
What we work on together
We explore how this season is living in your body, your thoughts, and your relationships. That might include intrusive thoughts, mood changes, guilt, grief, resentment, medical anxiety, identity shifts, or feeling disconnected from your body or baby.
We make space for ambivalence, anger, relief, love, and grief to coexist. You are allowed to feel multiple things at once without being labeled a bad parent, a bad patient, or a bad person.
Together we build support for your nervous system so you are not moving through this chapter alone in your head. We work toward more steadiness, more clarity, and more room to breathe inside your own life.
What sessions feel like
We start with how you are actually arriving that day. That might be sleep deprived, tearful, numb, angry, or trying not to feel anything at all. You do not need a polished story. You just bring what is loud right now.
Some days we stay practical: safety, coping, appointments, family dynamics, or managing daily life while your capacity is low. Other days we gently touch the memories, images, and body sensations that feel stuck and help them move.
You set the pace. You are allowed to slow down, pause, or say “not today” if something feels like too much. Our goal is to give you more stability, not to re-traumatize you.
Tools we might use
We may use EMDR, Brainspotting, or Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) to process traumatic births, losses, medical experiences, or specific moments that will not leave you alone. These tools help your brain and body file away what happened so it does not feel as sharp and immediate.
We also use grounding, body awareness, and parts based work to support the caregiving part of you, the grieving part, the angry part, the hopeful part, and the part that just wants rest.
Everything we use is paced around your current season. We are not trying to “fix” you. We are supporting your nervous system as it moves through something very real.
All sessions are held online through secure telehealth. You can join from home, your car, or wherever your body feels safest in this season.
I currently see clients who live in Hawaii, Arizona, Washington, North Carolina, and South Carolina, based on my clinical licenses.
You do not have to carry this chapter by yourself
If pregnancy, postpartum, fertility, or reproductive loss has left you feeling unlike yourself, you deserve support that takes your whole story seriously. If any part of this page feels like you, that is enough to reach out. We can figure out the next step together.
I review every message myself and will let you know if I am a good fit or help you find next steps.
