Based on my own experiences, infertility support is a foundational passion of mine.
I am a firm believer that there is no one right or true way to engage in therapy. Everyone comes with a set of their own unique life experiences, which requires an individualized take on achieving personal goals and overcoming barriers. My approach is based in evidence and strength based practice, while focusing on you and where you are in your journey. We will work together to create a safe and empowering environment. You will receive support in gaining insight, developing coping mechanisms and strategies and strengthening the foundation of your authentic self through methods such as CBT, EFT, Attachment & Trauma Approaches.

You know that infertility impacts 1 in 8 people, but you wonder where they heck is everyone else?
The path to parenthood has not looked like what you expected. Maybe you’re desperate to start your family, but it’s not happening and you’re terrified that parenthood isn’t going to happen for you. Maybe you’ve experienced the devastation of pregnancy loss and are left grieving in isolation, wondering “does this grief even count if it was “just” a miscarriage?”. Or perhaps you want to add to your family, but this time around it just doesn’t seem to be happening. Baby showers are devastating. “Pregnancy” becomes a swear word. Sex is no longer fun, it is simply a method to conceive/means to finally seeing that double pink line…

Life feels like too much — too many expectations, too much pressure, too many “shoulds.”
If you’ve been holding it together on the outside while struggling on the inside, therapy can be the place where you finally exhale.
I work with women and girls (preteens and up) who feel caught in cycles of self-doubt, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or overwhelm. Maybe you’ve been running on autopilot, trying to meet everyone else’s expectations, but inside you feel exhausted and unsure of who you really are anymore.

Infertility Counsellors
How can infertility affect couples and their relationship?
Clients who are dealing with infertility may experience conflict and communication problems. It’s not unusual for shame, blame, and guilt to arise in cases of infertility, whether the source of the problem is one partner or both. This means that clients are upset and pulling away from their partner just when they need them the most. Some clients may find it difficult to spend time around friends and family who are pregnant. Friends and family can also make hurtful comments that increase tension during this time.
How does therapy for infertility issues work?
The therapist will begin by gathering information about the client or couple and make a treatment plan for their specific concerns. In addition to addressing common mental health issues, such as anxiety, depression, and trauma reactions or PTSD, therapists can help clients improve their decision-making and deal with stressors unique to infertility. Some examples include coping with the “two-week wait” before a pregnancy test, the distress associated with a failed attempt or miscarriage, and the shame and blame sometimes associated with reproductive concerns.
What type of therapy is best for infertility issues?
Many therapists offer psychotherapy for individuals and couples who are dealing with infertility issues. Some helpful therapeutic approaches include cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), which can aid clients in reframing negative thoughts about their situation. Expressive writing and art therapy can help clients process difficult feelings. Clients might also benefit from group therapy to experience support from others who are dealing with the same problems.
How long does therapy for infertility issues take?
There is no set length for therapy that addresses infertility or reproductive concerns. Some clients might find it helpful to continue therapy during their pregnancy to have healthy ways to cope with any associated stress, anxiety, depression, or trauma. Some clients who decide not to pursue fertility treatments might benefit from the support of a therapist. The duration of therapy varies depending on the individual client’s specific needs and goals.
