EMDR Intensives

EMDR intensives offer longer, focused therapy sessions that allow for deeper healing and faster progress. Instead of spreading the work out over many weeks or months, intensives provide dedicated time to process experiences and move forward with greater clarity and relief.

EMDR

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based therapy that helps the brain process and heal from distressing or traumatic experiences. During EMDR, bilateral stimulation is used while focusing on specific memories, allowing the brain to reprocess them so they feel less overwhelming and no longer carry the same emotional intensity. EMDR can be especially helpful for individuals navigating infertility, pregnancy or infant loss, and traumatic birth experiences. These events can leave lasting emotional and physical imprints, and EMDR can help gently process the memories, reduce distress, and support healing. In addition to reproductive and perinatal experiences, EMDR is also widely used to treat trauma, anxiety, negative self-beliefs, and other difficult life experiences, helping people move forward with greater clarity and resilience.

Bringing Baby Home

Support your relationship as you bring your baby home. Bringing home a baby is one of the biggest transitions a couple can experience. Sleepless nights, new responsibilities, and shifting roles can create stress—even in the strongest relationships. But with the right tools and support, this stage can also strengthen your connection. This in-person or virtual workshop for expecting and new parents provides practical, research-based skills to help you navigate the challenges of early parenthood together. You’ll learn how to communicate more effectively, manage stress as a team, and stay connected during a time of major change. The workshop also helps you better understand your baby’s cues and needs, strengthening the bond between you and your baby while building a supportive foundation for your growing family.

Individual Therapy

Individual therapy for pregnancy loss, postpartum mental health, and infertility provides compassionate support for the emotional challenges that can accompany the journey into and through parenthood. Whether you are coping with miscarriage, recurrent pregnancy loss, infertility, IVF, postpartum anxiety, postpartum depression, birth trauma, or the overwhelming transition into motherhood, therapy offers a safe space to process grief, anxiety, identity changes, and emotional exhaustion. Together, we work to help you feel supported, understood, and more connected to yourself as you navigate healing, uncertainty, and recovery during every stage of your reproductive and parenting journey.

Couples Therapy

Couples counseling for infertility and pregnancy loss provides emotional support and practical tools for partners navigating miscarriage, IVF, recurrent pregnancy loss, failed fertility treatments, stillbirth, and the stress of trying to conceive. Infertility can deeply impact communication, intimacy, grief, anxiety, and connection within a relationship. Therapy offers a safe, compassionate space to process emotions, strengthen your relationship, improve communication, and cope together during every stage of the fertility and healing journey. Whether you are experiencing infertility, grieving a pregnancy loss, considering fertility treatments, or adjusting to life after loss, you do not have to navigate it alone.
