Therapy for Infertility, Miscarriage & Pregnancy Loss in New Jersey & New York

"For those who deeply want children ... Who can describe the feel of a tiny hand that is never held?"

​​

I provide therapy in New Jersey and New York for individuals and couples navigating infertility, miscarriage, and reproductive loss, as well as providing support through IVF cycles and decisions about third party reproduction like donor eggs or sperm, or gestational carriers.​

You might be feeling…

  • Waves of grief that come and go, sometimes unexpectedly

  • Anxiety about the future or fear of what’s next

  • Feeling ashamed; difficulty talking about your experience with others

  • Confused about how to move forward or what steps to take

  • Guilt or self-blame, even when you know it’s not your fault

  • Disconnection from your body or a sense of betrayal

  • Pain around others’ pregnancies

The emotional impact of infertility and loss

This experience is not just medical; it’s deeply emotional. It's also highly stressful, particularly  for high achieving women, because all of the rules about success and hard work that have gotten you where you are in life don't apply when trying to have a baby.

​​

It can affect how you see yourself, your body, your relationships, and your sense of control over your life.

​

Many people find themselves holding both grief and hope at the same time, which can feel confusing and exhausting.

​

Therapy gives you a space to process all of it, without judgment or pressure

to feel a certain way.

​

When it’s affecting your relationship

Infertility and pregnancy loss often impact partners differently.

​

You might notice:

  • Different coping styles creating distance

  • Miscommunication or feeling misunderstood

  • One partner wanting to talk while the other shuts down

  • Tension around decisions, timing, treatment, or next steps

​

In therapy, we can work on understanding these differences and helping you feel

more connected and supported as a couple.

 

How therapy can help

In our work together, you’ll have space to:

​

  • Process grief, loss, and trauma at your own pace

  • Navigate anxiety and the uncertainty of what’s ahead

  • Reconnect with your body in a more compassionate way

  • Make sense of complicated or conflicting emotions

  • Work through the stress of making decisions on how to proceed

  • Strengthen communication and support within your relationship

​

I integrate a trauma-informed approach and may incorporate EMDR therapy to help process experiences more deeply, not just manage the surface-level feelings.

 

There’s no “right” way to go through this

But you don’t have to carry it alone.

I offer therapy in Westfield, NJ, and virtual sessions across New Jersey and New York.​
