Clinical Consultation & Professional Training in Attachment-Informed Pregnancy Loss Psychotherapy

My consultation and training are grounded in the clinical framework presented in my book, Psychotherapy for Pregnancy Loss: Applying Relationship Science to Clinical Practice. This model integrates contemporary attachment theory, emotion-focused therapy, psychodynamic psychotherapy, trauma-informed care, and research on the therapeutic relationship to help clinicians provide compassionate, evidence-informed treatment for individuals and couples experiencing pregnancy loss and related reproductive trauma.

Rather than emphasizing symptom reduction alone, this approach helps therapists understand how pregnancy loss affects attachment, identity, emotional regulation, self-esteem, and close relationships. The goal is to help clients not only process grief and trauma but also strengthen resilience, restore a healthier sense of self, and foster greater attachment security through the therapeutic relationship.

My consultation and training introduce clinicians to an integrative approach to pregnancy loss psychotherapy grounded in relationship science. Drawing from attachment theory, emotion-focused therapy, psychodynamic psychotherapy, trauma-informed care, and research on the therapeutic relationship, this framework helps clinicians understand not only grief and trauma, but also the profound effects of pregnancy loss on attachment, identity, self-esteem, emotional regulation, and intimate relationships.

Through consultation and training, clinicians learn to integrate these perspectives into a flexible, compassionate approach that helps clients process grief and trauma, restore a healthier sense of self, strengthen relationships, and foster greater attachment security.

I provide individual and group consultation for licensed mental health professionals seeking greater confidence and competence in treating reproductive mental health concerns.

Consultation may focus on case conceptualization, attachment-based interventions, emotion-focused techniques, working with traumatic grief, strengthening the therapeutic alliance, and integrating psychodynamic and trauma-informed perspectives into clinical practice. Whether you are new to this specialty or have extensive experience, consultation offers an opportunity to deepen your clinical thinking while receiving support with complex cases.

I offer individualized consultation for psychologists, counselors, social workers, marriage and family therapists, psychiatrists, and other mental health professionals seeking to deepen their expertise in pregnancy loss and reproductive mental health.

Grounded in the integrative clinical framework presented in my book, Psychotherapy for Pregnancy Loss: Applying Relationship Science to Clinical Practice, consultation helps clinicians apply attachment-informed, emotion-focused, psychodynamic, and trauma-informed principles to their clinical work. Rather than focusing solely on techniques, consultation emphasizes thoughtful case conceptualization, the therapeutic relationship, and interventions that facilitate meaningful and lasting change.

Consultation can address complex cases involving miscarriage, stillbirth, recurrent pregnancy loss, infertility, pregnancy after loss, termination for medical reasons (TFMR), and related reproductive trauma. Together, we may explore attachment-informed formulations, emotion-focused interventions, therapeutic impasses, grief and trauma processes, countertransference, and strategies for helping clients process loss, restore a healthier sense of self, strengthen relationships, and move toward greater attachment security.

Whether you are seeking guidance on a single case, ongoing consultation to develop specialized expertise, or support integrating an attachment-informed approach into your broader clinical practice, consultation provides a collaborative space to deepen clinical thinking and enhance your effectiveness as a therapist.

I offer workshops, continuing education presentations, conference presentations, and invited trainings for universities, hospitals, healthcare organizations, and professional associations.

Training topics include pregnancy loss, recurrent pregnancy loss, infertility, pregnancy after loss, termination for medical reasons (TFMR), reproductive trauma, attachment-informed psychotherapy, emotion-focused interventions, therapeutic relationship research, and integrating multiple evidence-based approaches into effective clinical care.

My goal is to help clinicians move beyond protocol-driven interventions toward a flexible, relationship-centered approach that supports meaningful and lasting therapeutic change.

My professional education is informed by my clinical practice, research, teaching, and writing in reproductive mental health.

Resources include:

• Psychotherapy for Pregnancy Loss: Applying Relationship Science to Clinical Practice, which presents an integrative framework for treating pregnancy loss through attachment, emotion-focused, psychodynamic, and trauma-informed psychotherapy.
• An American Psychological Association psychotherapy demonstration illustrating an attachment-informed approach to pregnancy loss treatment.
• Professional presentations, publications, and workshops focused on reproductive mental health and the therapeutic relationship.

These resources are designed to help clinicians develop both conceptual understanding and practical clinical skills that can be applied across diverse therapeutic settings.
