Who I Work With
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
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.
What I Bring
Beyond my individual client work, I have spent a decade contributing to the broader field — training the next generation of grief-informed clinicians at the graduate level, contributing to foundational texts in perinatal loss, and speaking at national conferences. I am the Director of Community Support at Return to Zero: HOPE, where I develop curriculum, lead retreats and support groups, and train providers supporting bereaved families across the country.
My perinatal loss and bereavement training is extensive — grounded in the gold standard frameworks of Resolve Through Sharing and Postpartum Support International, and including specialized training in bereavement care, perinatal death, birth trauma, holding space for abortions, and perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. This is the foundation of my work with bereaved families.
My broader clinical training spans somatic trauma therapy, parts work, EMDR, attachment, and relational healing — including direct training with Dr. Peter Levine, Dr. Richard Schwartz, Dr. Stephen Porges, Dr. Arielle Schwartz, Dr. Diane Poole Heller, Deb Dana, and others who have shaped the field. I trained extensively through The Embody Lab, one of the leading somatic training institutions in the country.
What Working With Me Looks Like
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 — say their name, share the signs or messages you've been reluctant to tell anyone else, talk about how you still feel them or hear their voice echoing through your home.
Sometimes you need someone to anchor you through terrain that feels incomprehensible. Sometimes you need to process the loss again and again, as many times as it takes.
And sometimes you need a place to simply be okay — without fearing that being okay means you are over it, or have forgotten them, or are somehow all better.
If you have found your way here, I am so sorry. And I am here.
“Whatever you are carrying — there is room for it here.”
Work With Me
I work virtually and am able to support clients anywhere. The first step is a free discovery call — a chance to connect and get a sense of whether we are a good fit.
Finding the right person to walk alongside you in this matters. If you reach out to several practitioners before finding that person — that is not only okay, it is wise.
If something here has felt like recognition — I would be honored to hear from you.
