Your grief is real even if the world doesn't always make space for it.

Therapy for pregnancy loss, miscarriage, and the emotional toll of infertility.

You expected a baby. Instead, you got a loss that no one quite knows how to talk about. Maybe it was early and people said "at least it was early." Maybe you've been trying for months or years and every negative test feels like a small funeral. Maybe you're in the middle of fertility treatments and the emotional rollercoaster is more than you bargained for.

Whatever your path, the grief, anger, jealousy, and isolation you're feeling are valid. And they deserve real support — not platitudes, not "everything happens for a reason," not silence.

This page is for you if…

You've experienced a miscarriage, stillbirth, or pregnancy termination and are struggling to grieve

You're navigating IVF, IUI, or other fertility treatments and the emotional weight is overwhelming

You feel jealous or resentful when others announce pregnancies and then guilty for feeling that way

Your relationship is strained by the fertility journey

You feel pressure to "move on" or "try again" before you've processed what happened

You're pregnant after a loss and can't let yourself feel excited

How I approach this work

Perinatal therapy for pregnancy and postpartum — Dr. Vitiello NJ

I provide warm, nonjudgmental therapy that honors the full complexity of reproductive loss and fertility challenges. There is no timeline for grief, and there is no "right" way to feel about what you're going through.

I draw on my fellowship training at The Motherhood Center, where I worked at the intersection of reproductive health and psychological wellbeing. I use psychodynamic and mindfulness-based approaches to help you process grief at your own pace, without pressure to perform healing on anyone else's timeline.

You don't have to carry this alone.
