LOCATED IN PASADENA & ONLINE IN CALIFORNIA
Therapy for Fertility Challenges, Pregnancy Loss, and New Parents.
For people navigating reproductive grief and parenthood who are ready to stop white-knuckling through this season and start trusting that you can handle whatever comes next.
This isn’t how you thought stepping into parenthood would be.
You imagined feeling excited, supported, and confident as you stepped into parenthood. Instead, you feel anxious, irritable, and unexpectedly low.
You second-guess yourself and are haunted by what you could have done differently to prevent difficulties with conceiving, a pregnancy loss, a traumatic birth, or a challenging postpartum period. Perhaps you find yourself hooked into Reddit threads or Chat GPT, searching for reassurance that you’re not missing something or that you’re not alone in your experience. And if parts of your own childhood and complicated feelings toward your own parents are resurfacing along the way, that can make everything feel even heavier.
You may feel jealousy toward friends whose parenting paths seem easier, then shame for feeling that envy at all. You might be crying more than you expected, snapping at your partner, or wondering, Why does this feel so hard for me?
You don’t have to stay stuck in the spiral of grief and anxiety.
You can find your footing even while the future remains uncertain. You can stop outsourcing reassurance and start trusting yourself. You can care for yourself without believing you’re failing everyone else.
This is a place where the hardest parts of this season get to be exactly as hard as they are–and where you discover you can carry them without losing yourself.
SPECIALITIES
-
Trying to conceive can gradually take over your thoughts, your relationship, and your daily life. In our work, we’ll focus on developing practical coping tools and processing the grief so you can feel steadier even on the hardest days. Learn more.
-
Pregnancy loss (miscarriage, TFMR, stillbirth) can be deeply painful and disorienting, especially when life around you continues on. Together, we’ll process what happened, helping you make space and meaning for the loss within your reproductive story. Learn more.
-
The postpartum season can bring love and connection alongside debilitating anxiety, intense irritability, or deep sadness. This is a place to slow down, connect to your new self, and make sense of what you are experiencing during this intense period of change. Learn more.
-
The path to parenthood looks different when you're queer: more steps, more decisions, more moments where the world reminds you that it wasn't built with you in mind. You deserve support from someone you don’t have to educate first. Learn more.
EMDR Therapy Intensives
When Weekly Therapy Isn’t the Right Pace
In addition to weekly sessions, I offer EMDR therapy intensives for people who want dedicated time to focus on moving through trauma, reproductive loss, or postpartum healing.
EMDR intensives provide a structured space to go deeper into a specific issue and make progress quickly without the stop-and-start pace of weekly therapy. Half-day and two-day options are available.
Hi, I’m Ana.
I believe becoming a parent is one of life’s most profound and destabilizing transitions.
Whether you're navigating infertility, pregnancy loss, or the emotional realities of postpartum, you deserve support from someone who understands how deeply these experiences can shape the way you see yourself, your relationships, and your future.
I approach this work with both clinical training and lived understanding of how nonlinear and humbling this road can be.
What you won't find here: silver lining platitudes, surface level fixes, or pressure to feel better before you're ready. You've been holding it together everywhere else. You don't have to do that here.
GETTING STARTED IS SIMPLE
Schedule a free consultation
You can book a free consultation directly through my online scheduler. This gives us a chance to briefly discuss what’s bringing you in and see if working together feels like the right fit. If it does, we can schedule your first session during the call.
Begin weekly sessions
In our early sessions, we’ll focus on reducing what feels most intense right now while building a strong foundation of trust and safety in our work together. I also collaborate with your existing medical team and can connect you with other perinatal support professionals when it would strengthen your care.
Find your footing
As we continue, we’ll address both the present stress and the deeper patterns being stirred up. You’ll develop practical tools, process unresolved experiences, and begin responding from a more grounded place, so this season strengthens rather than continues to unravel you.
