Birth & Reproductive Trauma Therapy

Your experience matters—even if it didn’t go the way you expected.

Pregnancy, birth, and the journey to parenthood can bring profound joy, but they can also involve experiences that feel frightening, overwhelming, disappointing, or deeply painful. Sometimes the emotional impact isn’t fully recognized until weeks, months, or even years later.

​

You may be carrying a birth experience that still feels difficult to think about, feeling disconnected from your body, struggling with anxiety or intrusive memories, or grieving the experience you hoped you would have.

 

I offer compassionate, trauma-informed therapy for women navigating birth trauma, reproductive trauma, pregnancy loss, infertility, difficult pregnancies, postpartum experiences, and complicated transitions into motherhood.

​

Healing From Birth Trauma

Birth trauma can happen even when everything appears to have gone “fine” medically. What matters is how the experience affected you.

You may have felt frightened, powerless, dismissed, out of control, or disconnected during pregnancy, labor, delivery, or postpartum. You may be struggling with memories of an emergency, medical intervention, unexpected complications, a difficult recovery, or feeling unheard by your providers.

​

Therapy can provide a space to process what happened without minimizing your experience or telling yourself that you “should be over it.”

​

Reproductive Trauma & Loss

The reproductive journey can hold many layers of grief and uncertainty. Infertility, miscarriage, stillbirth, pregnancy complications, abortion experiences, difficult fertility treatments, or an unexpected pregnancy can profoundly affect how you see yourself, your body, relationships, and the future.

​

You don't have to navigate these experiences alone.

​

Using a compassionate, trauma-informed approach—and, when appropriate, EMDR—we can work toward processing painful experiences, reducing the emotional intensity they carry, and helping you reconnect with a sense of safety and trust in yourself.

​

There is room for both grief and healing.

You can love your child and still feel traumatized by your birth experience.

​

You can be grateful and still be grieving.

You can want another pregnancy and feel terrified of going through it again.

​

All of those experiences can coexist.

 

Therapy can help you make sense of what happened, reconnect with your body and sense of self, and move forward with greater confidence, compassion, and choice.
