Therapy for Pregnancy Loss, Miscarriage & Fertility Grief

Your Loss Is Real. All of It.

Pregnancy loss is one of the most isolating experiences a person can go through. You may have been told to move on, to be grateful for what you have, or that “at least it was early.” You may have been surrounded by people who didn’t know what to say, so they said nothing. You may be grieving a loss that the world never even knew existed.

Whether you experienced a miscarriage, a stillbirth, a termination for medical reasons (TFMR), an ectopic pregnancy, a failed IVF cycle, health-related infertility, or a chemical pregnancy — your loss is real. The grief is real. And you deserve support that treats it that way.

I work with clients virtually across New York, Connecticut, and Florida, and pregnancy and fertility loss is one of my core clinical specialties. As a Certified Trauma Professional, I bring trauma-informed care to a grief experience that is too often minimized by the world around you.

Who I Work With

I support people navigating all forms of pregnancy and fertility loss, including those who are:

• Grieving a recent pregnancy loss, at any stage
• Processing recurrent pregnancy loss — the accumulating weight of multiple losses
• Coping with the grief of failed IVF cycles or chemical pregnancies
• Grieving a stillbirth and navigating life afterward
• Processing the decision and the aftermath of a termination for medical reasons (TFMR)
• Grieving differently than their partner, or feeling alone in their grief within the relationship
• Living with a loss that happened months or years ago and still affects daily life
• Experiencing pregnancy after loss — navigating the anxiety and complicated hope of trying again
• Experiencing health-related infertility and navigating the unknown future that lies ahead
• Returning to fertility treatment after a loss, and managing the emotional weight of that decision
• Feeling unacknowledged by others, whose comments (however well-meaning) have minimized what you went through

What Therapy for Pregnancy Loss Looks Like

There is no protocol for how you should be feeling, and therapy here doesn’t look like moving through stages or arriving at acceptance on a predetermined schedule. It looks like this:

Honoring your loss without judgment or timeline. You are allowed to grieve for as long as you grieve, however you grieve. I don’t impose timelines, and I don’t measure loss by gestational age. A loss is a loss, and this space holds that.

Processing complicated grief and trauma. Pregnancy loss can leave you with responses that go beyond grief — intrusive thoughts, numbness, a sense of unreality, hypervigilance. Trauma-informed therapy helps you understand what’s happening in your nervous system and work through it at a pace that feels safe.

Navigating relationship strain during grief. When two people grieve differently — and most do — it can create distance that compounds the pain of the loss itself. We can work on understanding each other’s responses, communicating needs, and staying connected even when you’re both hurting.

Deciding what comes next. Whether you’re considering trying again, exploring fertility treatment, thinking about donor conception or adoption, or wondering if you’re done — these decisions carry enormous emotional weight when made in the context of loss. Therapy creates space to explore them honestly, without pressure toward any particular answer.

Rebuilding after loss. Loss reshapes your sense of self, your relationship with hope, and sometimes your entire vision of the future. We work together to rebuild — not by erasing what happened, but by integrating it and finding a way to carry it that doesn’t prevent you from living.

Why Specialized Training Matters

Pregnancy loss is not ordinary grief. It sits at the intersection of grief, trauma, identity, medical decision-making, and in many cases ongoing fertility treatment — all at once. A therapist without specific training in reproductive loss may not understand the particular texture of this grief, or may inadvertently use frameworks that don’t fit.

I hold the Certified Trauma Professional credential (#902005), which reflects specialized training in trauma-informed care. This matters in pregnancy loss work because many people are not just grieving — they are also carrying trauma responses from the medical experience itself, from insensitive comments, and from the silence around a loss the world didn’t fully recognize.

If your loss is connected to ongoing fertility treatment or IVF, or if you’re experiencing grief during a subsequent pregnancy, I also work at the intersection of loss and perinatal mental health. You don’t have to separate these experiences to find support.
