Infertility and Postpartum Therapy in Miami, FL

Online therapy across Florida, New York, and Michigan.

This is uncertainty, not failure. Come home to yourself.

Do you feel like you’re losing yourself?

You live in constant uncertainty, stuck in cycles of waiting, worrying, and bracing for what’s next—spiraling on google and reddit, researching like you can’t stop, or imagining every “what if.”
You carry grief that no one seems to see, mourning losses and changes that feel invisible—while smiling on the outside and pushing through your days.
You feel disconnected from your body, like your own body isn’t trustworthy, familiar, or yours anymore—so you over-monitor, restrict, or try to control where you can.
Your feelings are tangled—joy and fear, love and overwhelm, happiness and envy, gratitude and resentment all at once—so you compartmentalize, distract yourself, or push feelings down to get through.
You feel alone, misunderstood, and unseen, even when people around you mean well—so you withdraw, scroll for answers online, or say “I’m fine” over and over.
You feel like you’re failing, weighed down by guilt and shame—so you over-apologize, over-plan, or work extra hard to make up for it.
You’re tired of holding it together while quietly falling apart inside—so you hide your tears in the shower.

A MESSAGE FROM OUR FOUNDER

I am a clinical psychologist helping people heal from stress stemming from anxiety, sadness, big life changes, or unsatisfying relationships.

I am also an expert in fertility and perinatal mental health. I consider it an honor to support people on all different paths to parenthood and throughout their family building journeys to help them build the life they want.

My mission always comes back to helping you live a life that you enjoy and find highly satisfying.

More About Me

We specialize in family building transitions for women in Miami, FL.

You’ve poured your heart and effort into everything in your life—and it’s brought results. But sometimes, no matter how much you give, it still doesn’t lead to the outcome you hoped for—or it turns out so different from what you imagined that it leaves you feeling lost and unsure.

That feeling of things being out of your control and different than you imagined or planned… of it taking over your thoughts, your days, even your sense of yourself… we see it. Our dedicated team of leading reproductive and perinatal psychologists deeply understand how to heal through this.

Struggling with infertility can feel overwhelming, isolating, and out of your control. You might cycle through hope, disappointment, and self-blame, wondering if you’ll ever feel steady again. Therapy offers a space to process grief, release guilt, and reconnect with your body, your emotions, and what you truly want from this season of life. Learn more here.
Experiencing miscarriage or pregnancy loss can feel devastating, isolating, and confusing. You may carry grief, guilt, anger, or questions that feel impossible to share. Therapy offers a supportive space to process loss, honor your emotions, release shame, and reconnect with your body and your sense of self. It helps you navigate this grief while finding ways to move forward with compassion and clarity, on your own terms. Learn more here.
A traumatic birth can leave you feeling shaken, disconnected from your body, and overwhelmed—sometimes even in the midst of caring for your baby. Therapy offers a safe space to process what happened, release fear and guilt, and reconnect with yourself and your body—so you can feel steadier, more present with your baby, and supported as you navigate this postpartum season. Learn more here.
Postpartum anxiety can make every day feel overwhelming, with racing thoughts, constant worry, or fear that something will go wrong. Therapy offers a safe space to slow down, process your feelings, and develop tools to manage anxiety—so you can feel calmer, more grounded, and more present with yourself and your baby. Learn more here.
Postpartum depression can make even the simplest days feel heavy and exhausting, leaving you disconnected from your baby, your body, and yourself. You may feel numb, hopeless, or like you’re carrying a weight that no one else can see. Therapy offers a safe space to process these emotions, release shame and self-blame, and find ways to reconnect with your sense of self, your baby, and the life you want to live—so you can begin to feel lighter, more grounded, and more present again. Learn more here.
Generational parent trauma can leave you carrying patterns, fears, and expectations you never asked for, often repeating dynamics you swore you wouldn’t. It can show up as self-doubt, hypervigilance, or struggles with connection and boundaries in your own parenting. Therapy offers a safe, compassionate space to uncover these patterns, process the impact of your own upbringing, and create new ways of relating—so you can parent from awareness, presence, and choice, rather than fear or old habits.
