I am so sorry you are here.
You do not have to find your way through this alone.
There are so many ways a hoped-for future can change.
Pregnancy, infant, and child loss touches people across every kind of family, every path to parenthood, and every stage of the journey.
There is room here for your story, exactly as it is.

I work with bereaved parents who have experienced loss in all its forms — miscarriage, stillbirth, termination for medical reasons, continuing a pregnancy with a life-limiting or lethal diagnosis, SIDS, SUDC, infertility, and the unexpected loss of an infant or child.
Every loss matters — regardless of gestational age, circumstances, or what anyone else has said about what you should or shouldn't be feeling. Every one deserves to be grieved, honored, and held with love and care.
Many clients come to me in the immediate aftermath of loss and stay through whatever the journey continues to ask of them — whether that is pregnancy after loss, parenting after loss, learning to live and love fully without a living child, or simply navigating life as it unfolds after profound loss. I understand this journey from personal experience and years of sitting closely with hundreds of families who have walked it.
Loss rarely arrives alone. For many of the people I work with, grief lands on top of older wounds that have never fully had a witness. I know how to hold all of it.
The whole picture.
Because grief, trauma, the body, and the life surrounding your loss are deeply connected, your support should be too.

Bereaved parents often find themselves navigating grief, trauma, and the overwhelming weight of a loss that touches every part of their life — sometimes seeing multiple providers, none of whom hold the full picture.
I work at the intersection of all of it — grief that needs to be witnessed and moved through at its own pace, trauma that shows up as intrusive thoughts, triggers, and the moments the body takes you back there without warning, and the slow transformation that becomes possible as the weight begins to lift. Not as separate tracks, but as one integrated, somatic, relational process.
I also welcome the opportunity to work alongside your other providers as part of a coordinated circle of care.
Experience matters. So does knowing how to meet it.
I have spent more than a decade and thousands of hours accompanying families through pregnancy, infant, and child loss, facilitating more than 100 multi-week groups, leading immersive retreats, and helping build national bereavement programs through leadership with Return to Zero HOPE.

Babies who died during pregnancy. Babies who lived for minutes, days, months, or years. Devastating diagnoses. Impossible decisions. Traumatic births and medical experiences. Sudden deaths without answers. Recurrent loss. Infertility. Pregnancy after loss. Parenting surviving children while grieving another. Families learning how to live when the future they imagined is no longer possible.
I have sat with people in the earliest hours and weeks of loss and continued walking alongside them years later.
This work is also personal. I have lived this terrain myself. And I have spent the years since learning how to contextualize lived experience to support others in their darkest hour.
That combination matters to me. Lived experience alone does not make someone equipped to accompany another person through loss. Training alone cannot teach everything there is to know about what it means to live through it. I bring both
You do not need to protect me from your grief or make what happened easier for me to hear.
I know how to stay.
You don’t have to be any particular way here.
Whatever you are carrying when you arrive, we begin there. There is room for the grief, the love, the questions, the trauma, the moments of okayness, and everything that does not yet have words.

When we work together, I meet you exactly where you are. Whatever feels most present when you arrive, that is where we begin.
Sometimes you need a place to cry and feel the full weight of the heartache and yearning. Sometimes you need to talk about your child, to say their name, share the signs or messages you have been reluctant to tell anyone else about, or talk about the ways you still feel their presence.
Sometimes you need someone to help anchor you through terrain that feels incomprehensible. Sometimes you need to return to what happened again and again, as many times as it takes, in a way that feels supported rather than overwhelming.
And sometimes you need a place to simply be okay, without fearing that being okay means you are over it, have forgotten them, or are somehow all better.
There is no right way to arrive here. You do not need to know what you need before we begin.
If you have found your way here, I am so sorry. And I am here.
You don’t have to know what comes next.
You only have to decide whether this feels like a place where you might want to begin.
Finding the right person to walk alongside you matters. I encourage you to take your time, ask questions, and speak with more than one practitioner if you need to. Finding someone who feels right for you is part of the process.
I work virtually and can support clients wherever they are. We can begin with a free discovery call, simply a chance to meet, talk about what is bringing you here, and get a sense of whether working together feels like the right fit.
If something you have read here has felt like recognition, I would be honored to hear from you.
