You can discover a way to continue living and honor your child's memory —even when you desperately wish everything was different.

 

For Parents Who Carry Endless Love for their Child and the Weight of Profound Grief 

Are you feeling swallowed by grief, haunted by guilt, and unsteady in a world that keeps turning—while you’re left standing still? People tell you they ‘can’t imagine surviving this,’ and the truth is, you couldn’t picture it either... until it happened to you.
 

This isn’t just sadness. It’s anger at the sheer unfairness of it all. It’s a pain so deep, you feel like no one truly hears you in the rawness of your emotions. 

​

You don’t have to face this alone. Together, we’ll honor your child’s memory, hold space for your grief, and find a way to live alongside this loss.

What if you could experience a therapy relationship where you could finally say everything—the raw, unfiltered truth about how you feel—without worrying about comforting or taking care of the person listening?

​

What if you could allow yourself to release the anger, the sadness, the resentment, the jealousy, and the fear?

 

Not to forget, but to make room. Room for something softer, something lighter, something beyond the weight of this heavy grief—someday.

You deserve a therapeutic space that feels steady and strong—strong enough to help you shoulder the weight of this grief. Together, we’ll carry it, so it doesn’t feel so crushing, so isolating.
 

I can handle the weight of your grief, and I can show you a path forward. I’ve walked this path myself. And I’ve helped so many parents, just like you, move through this indescribable pain toward futures shaped by bittersweet hope.

 

Because the truth is, you’ll always miss your child. No amount of therapy can take that away.
 

But therapy with me can help you find your way through this tunnel of grief, guiding you toward the light waiting at the other end. Not to leave your child behind, but to carry their memory forward, with love.

Does any of this sound like your experience? 

If any of the following sounds familiar, then you're right where I'd expect you to be. And if you're experiencing something else, then your entire journey is welcome here. 

  • Emotional Overload and Isolation

    You’re exhausted from pretending you’re okay. The anger, jealousy, and sadness are overwhelming, and you don’t know where to turn because it seems like no one really understands.

    • Maybe you’ve just returned from a prenatal appointment that you were looking forward to, only to be told there’s no heartbeat. The room went silent; your provider looked at you with pity, but no one prepared you for what happens next. As they handed you a list of “options” and ushered you out, it felt like they wanted to avoid your pain as much as possible. Now, everyone around you seems uncomfortable with your grief, and you’re left feeling ashamed, angry, and so, so alone.

  • Guilt and “Why Me?” Thoughts

    You keep asking yourself, “What if?” and “Why my child?” Logically, you know it’s not your fault, but it feels like somehow it is. The shame, blame, and guilt just won’t go away.

    • You know it’s irrational, but it feels like if you’d done something differently, maybe your child would still be here. People try to comfort you with comments like, “God wanted an angel." or "They're no longer in pain." But those words are hollow in the face of your greatest pain. 

  • The Invisibility of Your Pain

    It feels like the world is still rapidly spinning, ignoring your loss, while your heart remains anchored in sorrow. Your orbit has grinded to a halt. Friends, family—even those closest to you—just don’t seem to understand the depth of your grief.

    • Perhaps you've felt jealous when you've seen pregnancy announcements, or bitter when you see people you know on social media posting "First Day of School" pictures when your child will never experience another first day of school again. When people reach out, it’s often with awkward reassurances or complete avoidance. You’re left carrying your pain alone, feeling invisible and misunderstood. 

​

Landscape of Sea and Boat

It’s okay if you feel completely adrift in this sea of grief right now. 

​

With my guidance, we’ll drop anchor to steady you amidst the waves of unbearable sadness, giving you the space to breathe and the strength to begin rediscovering yourself.

This kind of grief isn’t something you ‘get over.’ It’s a journey that may last a lifetime, with days of heartache, anger, and profound sadness.

 

But what if, even in this pain, there was a way to find moments of calm, to feel a little lighter, or to share your child’s memory with others in a way that brings you some peace?

 

Therapy with me can be a place where you’re not rushed or expected to move on.

​

Instead, you’re simply met right where you are, with every complicated feeling acknowledged, accepted and appreciated.

What If...

You could Have a Place to Feel Every Emotion, Completely Unedited

Imagine having a space where you can speak openly and honestly, without having to hide the jealousy, anger, or confusion you feel—whether it’s jealousy over a cousin’s third “accidental” pregnancy or resentment toward those who don’t understand the depth of your loss. Here, every part of your experience is witnessed without judgment.

You Had the Right Words When People Said Insensitive Or Hurtful Things About Your Loss

Picture yourself feeling prepared with real responses to the well-meaning but hurtful comments, like, “At least you know you can get pregnant” or “There’s always adoption.” or "Your child is an angel now." or "Everything happens for a reason." I can help you not to scream at the little old church lady or the grocery store clerk for saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. Together, we’ll craft the words that feel right for you, so you feel understood when sharing your story.

You Could Finally Have Support From Someone Who Really Understands

You want to work with someone who gets it—someone who won’t try to gloss over your pain or “fix” it but will walk with you through it. You’ll have the support to grieve on your terms, finding peace and strength without pressure to move on or “get over it.” I’ve been where you’ve been, and it’s lonely. You need a therapist that has witnessed many people move through their own, unique grief journey.

“To love is to accept the rites of grief.” 

-Francis Weller

Imagine a life where the weight of grief isn’t as crushing—where you can live with your loss and honor your child’s memory in a way that brings peace, rather than only pain. Together, we’ll work toward a future where you can feel moments of joy without guilt, talk about your child without sorrow taking over, and rediscovering yourself amidst the pain.

My Approach: Bringing Gentle Compassion to Your Grief, So Healing Feels Possible

Together, we’ll:

  • Untangle the overwhelming mix of emotions, like guilt, anger, and despair, so they don’t consume you.

  • Find meaningful ways to honor your child’s memory and carry their love forward.

  • Redefine your boundaries, creating space to grieve in a way that feels right for you.

  • Explore how, someday, you might create meaning from this loss—not to diminish your grief, but to live alongside it in a way that feels true to your love and your child’s memory.

  • Rebuild trust in yourself and the people in your life—on your terms.

Is This the Right Fit for You?

This Therapy Is For You If:

  • You want a compassionate space to process a painful loss on your own terms.

  • You’re looking for real ways to handle complex emotions like guilt, jealousy, and anger.

  • You’re ready to honor your child’s memory while beginning to rediscover yourself.

  • You are a partner/spouse/husband, (a.k.a not the pregnant person, not navigating the physical stuff) and you want to learn how to deeply support the person you love and are grieving together with. 

 

This Therapy Is Not For You If:

  • You’re looking for a quick fix or want to “get over” your grief quickly. This is deep work that honors your unique journey.

  • You’re not open to exploring the full range of your feelings.

  • You’re not ready to share and process difficult emotions in a supportive setting.

  • You find yourself struggling with intense feelings of suicidal thoughts or wanting to end your life.

You will never 'get over it,' but you can learn to carry it with love.

In our work together, you’ll have space to honor every part of your grief and find a way to live with it that feels true to you. There’s room here for both your pain and your healing, allowing you to carry your child’s memory with love, not just sadness. There’s no timeline, no pressure to ‘move on.’

 

This is your journey, and I’m here to support you every step of the way.
