Although by profession I am a licensed professional counselor, I am a person who understands the scope of reproductive grief very deeply. However, I get that this is a club that no one wants to be in, but I believe that hope can still exist in these challenging moments of pregnancy loss. 

​

I value family, faith, and connection, and recognize that understanding what matters to you will help you cope with some of life's toughest battles. Dealing with the loss of a baby is something that can completely break you, and without the proper supports and resources necessary, it can allow the devastation to continue to impact your quality of life. From my personal journey, recognizing that vocalizing my concerns, expressing my needs, and communicating what was happening inside helped me express myself authentically, where shame and guilt didn't overwhelm me.

Through Almeta's Porch Counseling, I have walked alongside individuals navigating emotional, relational, and reproductive challenges. A Valued Life was born from that work — as a way to extend that support beyond the therapy room through education, coaching, community, and tangible resources for healing.
