It’s okay to not be okay.
Loss & Miscarriage
Sometimes It Is Hard to Cope When You Keep Thinking About What It Would Have Been Like
Miscarriage and infant loss carry a depth of grief that can linger long after others expect you to be okay. Whether your loss happened recently or years ago, you may still find yourself thinking about what could have been—milestones missed, dreams unfulfilled, and the ache that follows. Grief like this doesn’t follow a timeline, and it doesn’t need to be hidden. If you've experienced a miscarriage, therapy can provide a gentle, supportive space to honor your loss, navigate the emotional waves, and heal at your own pace.
The Emotional Impact of Pregnancy Loss
Pregnancy loss can deeply affect every part of your life: your mental health, your relationships, and your sense of self. It’s not uncommon to experience anxiety, depression, or emotional numbness, even long after the loss. Receiving counseling to process a miscarriage provides a safe, supportive environment where your grief is met with empathy, not expectation. As a women’s therapist with experience in trauma and loss, I guide you in exploring your emotions, developing healthy coping mechanisms, and reconnecting with your inner strength. Whether you’re grieving a miscarriage, stillbirth, or recurrent pregnancy loss, therapy offers the emotional support and guidance needed to move forward, one step at a time.
How Therapy Will Help You
Therapy plays a vital role in helping you navigate the profound grief that comes with miscarriage or infant loss. Therapy for miscarriages offers a comforting place to process your loss, where your feelings are validated and your healing journey is treated with tenderness. In our sessions, we’ll explore the complex feelings of grief, guilt, sadness, and anger, helping you process them at your own pace. Trauma therapy for women can also be particularly helpful in addressing lingering emotional trauma, whether related to the loss itself or fears about future pregnancies. Therapy provides gentle support to unpack these emotions, guiding you toward healing and emotional peace.
Working with a women’s therapist allows you to break free from cycles of guilt or self-blame that may hinder your healing process. Therapy helps you develop emotional resilience, empowering you to move forward in a way that feels right for you. While there’s no quick fix, therapeutic support will help you process your grief and provide the tools to heal in a healthy, compassionate way.
Understanding the Silence Around Loss
One of the most painful aspects of miscarriage is how isolating it can feel. People may not know what to say—or may say the wrong things entirely. You might hear phrases like “at least it happened early” or “you can always try again,” all of which dismiss your grief instead of honoring it.
While healing after miscarriage, we create a space for the unspoken. You’re allowed to name your grief, your hopes, your fears, and your pain. You don’t need to justify your emotions or minimize your experience. Therapy validates what the world often fails to acknowledge: this loss mattered.
You Are Not Alone in Your Grief
You are not alone in your grief. Even if others have moved on, even if people don’t understand, your feelings are real and valid. Navigating grief after a pregnancy loss offers the support, understanding, and compassion you need during this difficult time.
I am here to walk with you through this journey, providing a safe space where your pain is validated and your healing process is respected. Whether you're weeks into your loss or years beyond it, there is still room for healing. Together, we’ll work toward clarity, closure, and emotional peace—at your pace.
What to Expect in Your First Session
During your first session, expect to be welcomed into a compassionate and non-judgmental environment where you can share your grief in your own time. There’s no need to rush or have all the answers right away. We’ll start by discussing what brought you to therapy and how you’ve been feeling since your loss. From there, we’ll explore the emotional and physical aspects of your grief and any fears you may have about the future, whether that relates to the loss itself or concerns about future pregnancies.
You will have the opportunity to process feelings of guilt, sadness, and anxiety, and we’ll work together to find ways to help you heal. You’ll leave the session feeling heard and supported, knowing that this is the first step toward understanding your grief and learning to cope in a way that honors your experience. I am here to help guide you through this difficult time with empathy and care, offering you a space to begin healing.
You Deserve to Be Supported
Loss, especially reproductive loss, is too often silenced. You deserve a place where your experience is heard, honored, and supported without pressure to perform or “bounce back.” Coping with miscarriage through therapy, provides that space.
As a women’s therapist, I bring empathy, patience, and specialized training to support you through this journey. I understand the complex emotions tied to fertility, motherhood, identity, and grief. You don’t have to navigate this alone.
