Therapy for Pregnancy or Trying to Conceive
Serving Arlington, VA & Online in Virginia and Washington, DC
Pregnancy isn’t going quite how you imagined.
Maybe you’ve looked forward to this experience for a long time, but it isn’t what you imagined. Or this came as a shock and that shock hasn’t worn off. Maybe you have experienced loss that makes it impossible to enjoy this pregnancy like you hoped. Or your last postpartum experience was really difficult and you’re dreading what is to come.
It might feel hard to picture your baby being in the world and how you’ll handle the next steps. While others expect excitement, you’re feeling anxious, uncertain, or disconnected. Pregnancy can be a hard time.
Or maybe you’re trying to conceive and it’s been harder than you expected. The waiting, uncertainty, and ups and downs can weigh heavily on you and your relationship. If you’ve experienced loss, you are not alone.

Individual therapy sessions are $225 per session. I am an out-of-network provider, but I can check your out-of-network benefits and submit claims on your behalf through Thrizer. Many clients receive 60–80% reimbursement after meeting their deductible.
If you prefer, I can provide you with a monthly superbill so you can coordinate with your insurance company directly.
