INFERTILITY THERAPY & LOSS SUPPORT in AUSTIN, TX
This wasn’t how it was supposed to be.
If you’re here, I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It’s a club no one wants to be part of.
Right now, everything can feel like a reminder. Questions from family, pregnancy announcements, the constant cycle of appointments and waiting. It can take over more space in your life than you ever expected.
It’s normal to feel anxious, low, or even guilty.
You might be carrying the grief of a failed IVF cycle, the heartbreak of not knowing if you’ll ever experience pregnancy, or the deep sadness of pregnancy loss. You may have even faced the impossible decision to end a much-wanted pregnancy due to a serious diagnosis.
However it’s showing up, the overwhelm is real.
If you’re navigating infertility, you already know this isn’t just medical. This affects every part of your life:
-
You and your partner may be coping in very different ways. What once felt easy between you can start to feel tense or disconnected, even when you’re both hurting.
-
It can feel like no one fully understands what you’re going through. Even people who care about you. You might find yourself pulling back, avoiding certain places or conversations, and feeling more alone in the process.
-
It’s hard not to have strong or conflicting feelings toward others who are pregnant. You might notice anger, sadness, envy, or even guilt. And then feel bad for having those reactions. You’re human, and these responses make sense.
-
All of this can take a toll on your nervous system. You might feel more anxious, irritable, or reactive than usual — like your body is stuck in a constant state of stress, making it hard to focus or feel settled.
What if this could feel different?
Not easier. But more steady. More clear.
More like yourself again—not just moving from appointment to appointment.
A place where you can be honest about how this actually feels.
how Therapy for Infertility can help:
Having someone in your corner who truly gets it can make all the difference.
Therapy can’t change the outcome of infertility, but it can help you feel more grounded, less alone, and clearer about what’s next.
Together, we’ll make space for the grief, uncertainty, and complexity of what you’re going through, so it doesn’t feel like something you have to carry on your own.
We can also talk through the decisions in front of you, whether that’s continuing treatment, exploring other paths to parenthood, or considering a life without children. The focus stays on what feels right for you.
Infertility can start to feel like your whole story, but it doesn’t have to be.
What others have wondered about my approach:
-
No, but I am happy to refer you to a psychiatric professional specifically trained in the medical management of mental health disorders during the perinatal period.
-
No, not at this time. My focus with clients is on the emotional aspects and grief of infertility, but I do maintain a referral network for licensed professionals who conduct evaluations for egg donation, sperm donation and surrogacy.
-
Not all families include children, and that’s completely okay. Not having a child doesn’t make you any less valuable than those who do. And, it’s also normal to feel a deep sense of grief as you come to terms with this reality.
-
Infertility doesn’t see color, sexual orientation, or socioeconomic status, but this can absolutely affect your experience. I’m committed to my own anti-racist & social justice work and aim to provide a welcome space for anyone who seeks services with me.
