Find Renewed Hope
Even if the path ahead feels uncertain now, therapy helps you rediscover hope—knowing that no matter what happens, you have the strength to navigate it. Instead of feeling stuck in fear or grief, you’ll begin to see possibilities again, believing in a future where peace and happiness are within reach.
Gain Clarity and Confidence
Imagine finally feeling certain about your next steps—whether it’s deciding on a fertility treatment, processing a past loss, or planning for the future. Instead of second-guessing every decision, you’ll move forward with confidence, knowing you’re making the right choices for yourself.
Experience Emotional Healing
Healing isn’t just about feeling better—it’s about reconnecting with yourself and your partner in a deeper way. As you process your emotions in a safe, supportive space, you’ll not only find relief from grief and anxiety but also strengthen your relationship, fostering understanding and closeness instead of distance and isolation.
Tired of Feeling Stuck in Fear, Doubt, or Guilt? Or in the I shoulds? I should feel happy, I should feel….
You love your partner, but you’re unsure about having children—and you’re terrified of what that means for your relationship.
You want a baby, but the fear of pregnancy, weight gain, or childbirth is leaving you anxious and unsure of yourself.
You’ve experienced infertility or miscarriage, and every pregnancy announcement or baby shower feels like a painful reminder of what you don’t have.
You’re already pregnant but struggling with anxiety, regret, or the physical toll it’s taking on your body.
You’ve had a baby before, and while you want to enjoy it this time, you’re scared postpartum depression will take over again.
You’ve tried talking to loved ones, but they don’t get it—leaving you feeling even more alone.
These thoughts don’t have to consume you.
Therapy can help you move past the guilt, grief, and fear so you can find clarity, emotional peace, and a future that feels right for you.
From Fear and Uncertainty to Clarity and PeaceÂ
I know how overwhelming it feels to be stuck in uncertainty, carrying the weight of grief, fear, and unanswered questions about your future.
Whether you’re struggling with deciding if motherhood is right for you, coping with infertility or loss, or feeling anxious during pregnancy, your emotions are valid—and you deserve support.
For over 25 years, I’ve helped hundreds of women navigate the emotional challenges of pregnancy, infertility, and postpartum. As a certified perinatal mental health specialist through PSI, I provide expert guidance tailored to your unique journey.
Therapy isn’t about telling you what to do—it’s about helping you find the clarity, healing, and confidence to move forward in a way that feels right for you.
Support, relief, and hope are here when you’re ready
Margot Holloman, PhD Specialist in Perinatal Therapy
” No one should have to navigate the emotional challenges of infertility, pregnancy challenges, or pregnancy loss alone. Every woman deserves the space to process, heal, and find clarity in a way that honors her uniqueness.”
What Will Therapy Be Like?
I will be with you as you begin to understand and grieve the past. You will learn how to forgive yourself (and others) and to stop feeling guilty for any “mistakes” you feel you have made.  You will begin noticing the good that is happening to you and what is possible.  You will learn how to quiet your negative thoughts and soften your upset feelings. I will teach you how to keep these negative feelings from stopping you from creating the life you really want.
My clients tell me I create a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment where they feel comfortable expressing their most difficult feelings without fear. We are even quite likely to share a good laugh. Therapy with me will help you get comfortable looking at parts of yourself and your past that may be tough to look at. Clients often tell me things they have never shared with anyone. If you feel like painful experiences from the past are holding you back, I can help you heal and to live a full and happy life again.Â
From Frustrated and Fearful to Calm and ContentÂ
Gain Clarity & Confidence
When you know what you want and how to get there, everything changes. Instead of feeling trapped in fear and indecision, you’ll gain the confidence to move forward. You’ll be able to relax, enjoy new experiences, and let go of the constant worry about the future—freeing yourself from the fear of losing your dreams.
Build Stronger Relationships & Support
You don’t have to go through this alone. I’ll help you build the energy, motivation, and skills to strengthen your relationships—whether it’s finding a new support system, deepening friendships, or improving communication with your partner. If you have a romantic partner, you’ll reconnect, strengthen your bond, and navigate this journey together with understanding and trust.
Find Healing & Emotional Peace
Grieving your losses doesn’t mean losing yourself in them. Therapy will help you process your emotions in a way that allows you to heal, not stay stuck. As your confidence grows, other areas of your life—your work, your relationships, and even your sense of self—will feel lighter and more fulfilling. You’ll reconnect with the person you truly are, embracing your future with hope instead of fear.
In Therapy You Will Learn to:
- Understand what you are feeling and feel clear about who you are and what is most important to you.
- Â Learn how to grieve losses and how to experience your feelings without becoming overwhelmed by them.
- Notice your thoughts without getting stuck in them or believing that just because you have a thought, it is true. Â This will keep you from letting your brain torture you with all of the bad things that COULD happen.Â
- Express yourself in a way that you feel closer and more connected with your partner, friends, and family.
- Increase your confidence and self-esteem so you feel ready to take on the challenges in front of you.Â
- Â Grow stronger so you can negotiate the hardships and losses that happen in your life without feeling like you have an impossible mountain to climb to feel better.

Frequently Asked Questions
What If I don't know if I want kids and my partner wants them?
In therapy, our job is to help you clarify what you want and how to best express your feelings to your partner. This can feel complicated and scary, but I will help you.
Whether you decide you would like to have children or you don’t, it is important that you feel at peace with your decision. After you feel sure about what it is you want, I will also help you make decisions about how and where to go from there.
How Do I know if Therapy Will Actually Help Me?
You won't know until you try. Many women feel this way at first, but therapy provides real tools to help process emotions, find clarity, and regain control. Healing starts by having the faith to take the very first step.
And What is the cost of not trying?
You might stay trapped in grief, uncertainty, and emotional pain, unable to move forward or find clarity. This can impact every aspect of your life.
I feel anxious and overwhelmed. Am I going to feel like this the whole pregnancy?
Positive and negative feelings continually ebb and flow during pregnancy. Having a child can be one of life’s most exciting AND challenging transitions. It is normal to have many different feelings during this time including feeling stressed and worried about the things to come. I can help you feel more confident about your future and more in control of the many changes that are happening. Therapy will empower you so you can get excited about the wonderful changes coming in your future.
What if Talking about This stuff is just too painful?
I understand how difficult these emotions are. That’s why we go at your pace, creating a safe space where you can process your feelings without pressure or judgment.
Unresolved emotions don’t just go away—they build up, leading to more anxiety, emotional exhaustion, and potential burnout
I had a miscarriage. What if I don’t ever feel ready to get pregnant? I am not sure if I can go through this again.
This is a common reason my clients come to therapy. It takes time to heal after such a loss. You need understanding and support to make a decision about if and when you are ready to try again. Most importantly, you need someone who can help you grieve apart from your partner and friends who mean well but who often do not understand what you have been through.
I felt depressed and anxious after my first baby. How do I keep that from happening again?
Coming to therapy so you can work through these experiences and prepare for your new baby is the best way you can ensure that you will have a different, much better experience this time. My clients tell me that having therapy during their pregnancy made having another baby so much better, it felt like a whole different experience. They did not have the depression and anxiety symptoms they had after their first baby. Therapy not only changed their postpartum experience significantly for the better, but it also created a much more joyful and fulfilling pregnancy.
