Did you know that postpartum depression or anxiety affects 15 – 20% of all women?  And perinatal depression and anxiety also affects 1 in 10 Dads.  Symptoms can range from mild to severe.  


Often sharing your feelings and experiences with a safe, trusted expert in the field of perinatal mental health, loss and grief, will help you to find your true self and figure out how to cope with many of your challenges.


  Depression and anxiety during pregnancy and postpartum are very treatable.  You have not only given birth to your baby; you have given birth to yourself as a mother – and it is ok to need extra support.  I am here to work with you, empower you along your journey, and help you feel better again.

Fertility Challenges, Loss & Grief - TFMR


Sometimes pregnancy is difficult to achieve.  Some pregnancies are faced with impossible challenges and result in loss. Grieving the loss of a pregnancy at any stage, for any reason, is different than any other type of loss.  


Grieving the loss of a baby or child is devastating.  I have been working with moms and dads who have had gut-wrenching losses – whether it is a miscarriage, a termination for any reason including termination for medical reasons (TFMR), a stillbirth, a baby that dies shortly after birth, or the loss of a child.  I can support you as you walk through this journey of grief and bereavement.

Creating a family is a personal and unique experience.  There is no one right way to become a mom or dad, there is only the right way for you.  


As we work together, you will explore your beliefs of pregnancy, birth and parenting through your mind, body and spirit.  Through therapeutic exploration,  I offer expectant moms and dads support through the pre-pregnancy phase, pregnancy, birth and early parenting.  Learn how to tap into your instincts and create the pregnancy and birth experience that is truly your own.  

Emotional Health Through Life

Now what?  

It's time to explore yourself

Transitions can be scary as have to face the unknown.  Therapy can help you discover yourself and find your path on your journey.  We work together to explore your authentic self and work towards  your goals, healing,  and growth.
