Therapy for Miscarriage and Pregnancy Loss in Louisville, KY
Grieving a Miscarriage and Wondering If You’ll Ever Feel Like Yourself Again?
Do you find yourself overwhelmed with sadness, guilt, or confusion after your miscarriage?
Are you feeling emotionally disconnected — from your body, your partner, or even your sense of identity?
Do you wonder if what you’re feeling is “normal”… or if you should be over it by now?
Whether it happened recently or years ago, pregnancy loss can leave deep emotional wounds that are too often minimized or misunderstood. You might be functioning on the outside: showing up for work, taking care of your family, smiling when you’re supposed to, all while silently carrying grief that feels impossible to explain. You’ve gotten good at pushing through. At showing up. At smiling when people ask how you’re doing. But deep down, you know there’s something unspoken that needs tending to.
Even if no one else knew about the pregnancy, you did. You imagined a future. You made space in your heart. And now you’re left holding so many unanswered questions: Was it something I did? Why did this happen to me? Will I ever feel safe trying again?
You may also be navigating complicated responses from others like people who mean well but say the wrong thing, or who try to move on before you’re ready. And you might be feeling isolated, unsure where to turn, or afraid that naming your grief makes you “too much.”
But this pain deserves space. It matters. And so do you.
With the help of a compassionate therapist, you can begin to process the layers of your grief, find gentleness with yourself, and begin to move forward, even if you’re not sure what that looks like yet.
Pregnancy Loss Is Deeply Personal, And More Common Than Most People Realize
If you’ve experienced a miscarriage, chemical pregnancy, or missed miscarriage, you’re not alone, even if it feels that way. In fact, roughly 1 in 4 pregnancies end in loss. And yet, the emotional impact is rarely talked about openly. Many people are left grieving silently, unsure of how to mourn something the world often doesn’t acknowledge.
It’s not unusual to feel numb, angry, ashamed, or like you’re somehow broken. Loss can bring up anxiety, sleep issues, tension with your partner, or fear around trying again. You may even find it hard to be around other pregnant people and then feel guilty about that, too. These reactions are completely human. Grief after pregnancy loss isn’t just sadness; it’s full of complexity, and it affects your body, your mind, and your relationships.
Unfortunately, many women and birthing people feel pressure to “move on” quickly or stay silent, which only deepens the sense of isolation. But you don’t have to rush your healing. And you don’t have to carry this alone.
With the support of a therapist for miscarriage, you can begin to make sense of your loss, honor your grief, and feel more like yourself again one step at a time.
Begin to Feel Like Yourself Again With Space to Grieve and Be Seen
Grieving a pregnancy loss can feel invisible. Maybe the world moved on or never really acknowledged it in the first place. But you’re still holding the weight of what could have been. Therapy gives you a place where your grief doesn’t need to be minimized or rushed. It gives you permission to feel what’s true and to begin healing in a way that honors what you’ve lost.
In our work together, we begin by making room for the full story, not just what happened physically, but how it’s been showing up emotionally, relationally, and somatically. You may be feeling overwhelmed, angry, numb, anxious, or like you’ve lost your footing completely. You don’t have to make sense of it all alone. You don’t need perfect words or a timeline for your grief.
My approach is both clinical and compassionate. I use EMDR therapy to help process the emotional and physical trauma of miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy. If you find yourself replaying events, feeling triggered by certain places or dates, or holding tension in your body, EMDR can help release those stored responses and bring relief. For many, this is the first time the grief feels like something they can move through, rather than just carry.
We also work with parts of you that may be stuck in fear, shame, or uncertainty about the future. Maybe a part of you is terrified to try again. Maybe another part feels guilty for even considering moving on. Together, we’ll create space to understand and care for each of those parts, so you feel less fractured and more whole.
Clients often tell me that this work has helped them feel more grounded and less alone, not just in their grief, but in their stories. What sets me apart is that I bring both professional expertise in trauma and perinatal mental health and personal experience with miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy. I know firsthand how disorienting, lonely, and complex this loss can be and how essential it is to be met with presence, not platitudes.
Whether your loss happened recently or long ago, therapy can help you begin to integrate your story, reconnect with your body, and reclaim your voice. If you’re ready to take that next step, I’d be honored to walk with you.
Therapy with me is…
A space to process your loss without minimizing, fixing, or rushing through it
Support from someone who understands how complex and nonlinear reproductive grief really is
A place to reconnect with your body and your story gently, at your own pace
An invitation to grieve out loud, even if no one else acknowledged your loss
Therapy with me is not…
Me telling you “everything happens for a reason”
A space where your grief is compared to someone else’s timeline or experience
You having to explain the terms and treatments like a D&C, OPKs, the two week wait
Focused on silver linings, forced positivity, or pushing you toward “moving on”
You Might Still Have Questions About Starting Therapy for Pregnancy Loss…
What if it’s been months or even years since my miscarriage?
Grief doesn’t expire. Many people don’t fully process their loss until long after it happens. Whether your miscarriage was recent or years ago, if the pain still lingers emotionally, physically, or relationally, that matters. You don’t need to justify your grief or explain why it still hurts. Therapy can be helpful at any stage of your healing.
I’m afraid if I open up, I’ll completely fall apart.
This is one of the most common fears I hear, and it makes so much sense. You’ve likely been holding it all together for a long time. But therapy isn’t about unraveling without support. It’s about letting yourself release what’s been stuck, in a space that’s equipped to hold it. We move at your pace, with gentleness and grounding. You don’t have to carry this alone anymore.
I’ve already had a therapist and it didn’t help. What makes this different?
Not every therapy experience goes deep enough to touch grief like this. Many of my clients come to me after trying therapy that felt too surface-level. What sets this work apart is my specialization in trauma and perinatal mental health, and my personal experience with pregnancy loss. This isn’t just clinical to me. I meet you in the realness of it, and together we’ll find a way forward that feels safe and meaningful to you.
What we’ll work on
Imagine a life where…
01 you feel safe in your body
You can breathe more deeply. You notice your body softening instead of bracing. You trust its signals and respond with care, not fear.
02 grief doesn’t take up all the space
The pain is still real—but it no longer defines every moment. You’re allowed to feel joy, rest, anger, hope, and everything in between.
03 you know you don’t have to hide
You speak the truth about what you’ve been through without shame. You know your grief matters, and you’re no longer making it smaller to make others comfortable.

You’re Not Alone.
You Don’t Have to Carry This Alone
Miscarriage and pregnancy loss can be isolating, but you don’t have to navigate the grief on your own. Therapy offers a safe, supportive space to process your experience, honor your story, and begin to feel like yourself again at your own pace.
I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to help you explore whether therapy feels like the right next step. No pressure, just a space to connect.
