A safe place to say the quiet parts out loud

Whether you’re in the two-week wait again or grieving a loss no one around you knows how to talk about, it can be difficult to hold space for hope and grief at the same time. But if you’re navigating infertility, pregnancy loss, or the exhaustion of fertility treatments, you don’t have to hold it all on your own.

Therapy with Ashley Sullivan can be the one place where your pain doesn’t need sugar coating, and you can allow yourself to feel all the desire, anger, and pain without explaining, because you know it will be met with understanding.

Here’s What Support Can Feel Like

  • A safe space where grief, fear, and hope are always welcome

  • No need to explain the infertility world before real work can happen

  • Useful language and tools to navigate the emotional weight of ‘the wait’

  • Support in making decisions about next steps

  • Relief from carrying the uncertainty alone, one session at a time

Friends, partners, and family members mean well, but sometimes those conversations make you feel more alone than supported. Even if you’ve tried therapy before, most therapists don’t understand the unique world of IVF, IUI, donor conception, or birth-related trauma. 

That doesn’t mean you’ll never find the relief you’re seeking. It just means you need a space created for those exact feelings, thoughts, and experiences.

This is that space.

Grounded Care for Hard Seasons

Whether we’re meeting in-person in SE Portland or connecting virtually from anywhere in Oregon, my approach blends steady emotional support with gentle, honest feedback. I'll never rush your grief, but I also won't let you stay stuck in it, if I can help. Drawing on theories of human development and attachment, schema therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and grief-focused care, I tailor our work to what you actually need in a given season of your reproductive journey. 

Sometimes that means simply having a place to explore your feelings, and sometimes it's working together toward clarity and next steps.
