FERTILITY & FAMILY BUILDING
Every Family-Building Journey Deserves Compassionate Support.
Building a family is often filled with hope, uncertainty, grief, resilience, and countless emotions that can be difficult to put into words. Whether you're just beginning your journey or navigating years of treatments, waiting, loss, or difficult decisions, you don't have to move through it alone.
At TheraRise, we provide compassionate, affirming counseling for individuals and couples navigating fertility, donor conception, pregnancy after infertility, and the many paths to building a family.

The Parts No One Talks About.
Grieving something that hasn't happened yet.
Feeling isolated while everyone else seems to be moving forward.
Wondering why this has to be so hard.
Holding hope and heartbreak at the same time.
Feeling guilty for your emotions—even the hopeful ones.
Constantly living between appointments, waiting, and uncertainty.
If these feelings sound familiar, you're not alone.
You deserve a space where every part of your journey is welcomed with compassion.

Meet Kaitlyn
FOUNDER & CLINICAL DIRECTOR
Supporting individuals and families through the complexities of family building is more than my specialty—it's work that is deeply meaningful to me. As both a therapist and someone with personal experience navigating donor conception and building a family in a two-mom household, I understand how layered this journey can be.
Whether you're navigating infertility, IUI, IVF, donor conception, pregnancy after infertility or loss, or simply trying to make sense of the emotions that come with this season, you'll find a compassionate, affirming space where your story is understood and your experiences are honored.
My hope is that you leave each session feeling a little lighter, a little more grounded, and reminded that you don't have to walk this journey alone.
