Infertility & Loss

The waiting, the unknowns, the rollercoaster of hope and heartbreak—infertility can feel relentless, bringing exhaustion, grief, overwhelming anxiety, and the crushing weight of decision fatigue. Together, we’ll hold space for your grief, frustration, anxiety, and uncertainty while also helping you find moments of clarity, self-compassion, and resilience as you navigate this deeply personal journey.

Whether you are mourning a pregnancy loss, struggling with unsuccessful treatments, or grieving the idea of a future you once envisioned, the losses associated with infertility can be profoundly difficult to process. Together, we will process your grief and losses with empathy and care, helping you both make sense of and honor what you have lost. In the words of Nora McInerny, “We don’t move on from grief. We move forward with it.”

From deciding on treatments to exploring alternative paths to parenthood, going through infertility involves making deeply personal choices. These instances can trigger decision fatigue, stress, and fear, as you navigate the overwhelming number of choices. I am here to provide a supportive, unbiased space where we can explore your options together, and support you in making decisions that align with your values, limits, and emotional well-being.

Infertility and loss can be incredibly lonely, especially when others don’t fully understand the depth of your pain. Loved ones, even with the best intentions, may not fully be able to understand the complexities of your experience. Whether you are struggling to communicate with a partner, or feeling disconnected, I provide a space to process these challenges and find support.

Going through infertility can be deeply painful, shaking your sense of self and the future you imagined. In therapy, we will create space for your grief while also exploring the resilience that has carried you this far. Together, we will honor your experience with compassion, help you reconnect with your values, find meaning amid uncertainty, and move forward in a way that feels authentic to you.

Recent research on women struggling with infertility found that nearly half of participants met the official criteria for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, a figure roughly six times higher than PTSD rates among the general population. No matter the outcome of your journey, we will work together to process the emotional residue, attend to past trauma, and cultivate hope for the future, acknowledging that the pain of infertility can far outlast the experience itself.
