Pregnancy Loss & Miscarriage Therapy
in Pasadena , Sierra Madre & throughout California
For the woman grieving the future she imagined.
When your loss feels invisible to everyone else.
Maybe people told you,
"At least you know you can get pregnant."
"You can always try again."
"Everything happens for a reason."
Even when well-intentioned, these words can leave you feeling unseen.
Because you weren't just grieving a pregnancy.
You were grieving a future.
The baby you imagined.
The milestones you pictured.
The life you had already begun to love.
Whether your loss was an early miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, stillbirth, or a pregnancy ended for medical reasons, your grief is real—and it deserves to be acknowledged.
There is no "right" way to grieve a pregnancy loss.
Every woman's experience is different.
You may feel overwhelming sadness.
You may feel numb.
You may be angry at your body.
You may blame yourself.
You may feel anxious about becoming pregnant again.
Or perhaps you're surprised by how deeply this loss has affected you.
There is no timeline for grief, and there is no "correct" way to mourn someone who was loved long before they were born.
You may be experiencing:
✓ Feelings of guilt or self-blame
✓ Anxiety about trying to conceive again
✓ Avoiding pregnant friends or baby showers
✓ Difficulty sleeping
✓ Flashbacks to your loss or medical appointments
✓ Feeling disconnected from your partner
✓ Feeling isolated because others don't understand
✓ Fear that you'll never feel hopeful again
✓ Wondering if you'll always carry this pain
If these experiences resonate with you, know that you're not alone. Many women carry profound grief after pregnancy loss, even when those around them don't fully understand its depth.
Therapy can help you carry your grief differently.
Healing doesn't mean forgetting your baby.
It doesn't mean pretending the loss didn't matter.
It means making space for your grief while slowly making room for hope again.
Together, we'll create a place where your story can be told without minimizing, fixing, or rushing your grief.
My approach integrates EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic therapy, attachment-based therapy, and compassionate grief work. Whether you're processing the trauma of the loss itself, navigating fear about a future pregnancy, or struggling with feelings of guilt or isolation, therapy can help you move forward while honoring what you've lost.
Your grief deserves to be witnessed.
Pregnancy loss is often called an invisible grief because the world may never have met the baby you were already beginning to know.
But your love was real.
Your hopes were real.
Your loss is real.
You don't have to minimize it here.
Your grief is real. Your story matters. You don't have to carry it alone.
Frequently Asked Questions

Absolutely. Continuing to think about your baby doesn't mean you're "stuck" in your grief. Love doesn't end because a pregnancy ends, and healing doesn't require you to let go of the memories or hopes you carried. Therapy isn't about helping you forget—it's about helping you find a way to carry your loss with less isolation and more compassion.
