Infertility Therapists in Danville, CA

My strengths revolve around encouragement, empowerment and engagement of clients that enjoy therapeutic healing. I acknowledge my clients as individuals with unique needs that require catered therapy approaches. I stay connected with my clients in session to understand how I can support and provide coping skills to decrease the symptoms that become a barrier in successful functioning. I have worked with clients that experience anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse, cultural issues, and relationship problems. I have experience working with couples dealing with separation, divorce, infertility issues and/or general relationship issues.

Relationship is the foundation of the therapeutic experience. Through compassion and empathy, I strive to build an alliance with my clients to explore the areas of your life that feel challenging or overwhelming. Whatever you are dealing with, depression, anxiety, divorce, blended families, life transitions, self-esteem, grief, sexual identity, OCD, ADHD, I will walk alongside you as you learn to live a more centered and joyful life. You don't need to struggle alone. I am passionate about working with women and couples experiencing infertility or pregnancy loss and children and teens with divorced parents.

From time to time, life stressors negatively impact our physical and mental well-being. You may find yourself dealing with complex challenges such as feeling stuck in unproductive patterns, grappling with inner conflicts, or facing barriers that hinder your personal and emotional development in life. Seeking help from a psychotherapist can profoundly contribute to better mental health and achieving a sense of balance, increased self-confidence, and a deeper connection with yourself and others.

You may think that big things have to change in your life in order for you to feel better and experience improvement. But I've come to believe that a key, gentle shift in perspective can bring about more positive change than many realize. That is a shift from taking a critical approach with yourself to taking a Kinder Approach. With this shift in how you approach yourself and your experiences comes greater self-awareness and feelings of confidence, hopefulness, empowerment and knowing your value. You can begin to see and feel new possibilities and choices for your life.

Are emotions getting in the way of leading the life you want? Being overwhelmed by normal human experiences such as stress, anxiety, depression, or anger can massively affect our physical bodies and cause immense challenges in our daily lives. Whether you’ve experienced a decline in health, challenges with romantic or personal relationships, career burnout, addictive habits, increased doubt, or you simply feel lost and unsettled on your journey... there is hope! Strong emotions do not have to dictate how we experience life. You can regain your joy.

Are you the type of person who appears strong, but inside feels unsure or even inadequate? Do you feel pressure to get things just right? Are you driven to be everything for everyone, but have lost sight of you? If any of these struggles resonate with you, you’ve come to the right person. I’m passionate about helping people get unstuck from old patterns that show up, even when they are no longer beneficial. We can work together to identify these patterns, their origin, their purpose and cultivate a plan for change.

When we feel stuck in our situation, it can create feelings of hopelessness. In addition to the many problems that complicate our daily lives such as anxiety, panic attacks, depression, patients come to me with complex relationship issues including marital distress, divorce recovery, verbal & emotional abuse, loss of child, parent, or spouse. I approach therapy from a holistic perspective, to address the root problem, not just the symptoms. Like physical therapy, the goal is to get well and end treatment. I offer perspective on your experience, and provide clear, concise directions on meeting your treatment goals.

I work with a wide range of clients, each facing their own set of challenges. Whether it's dealing with issues related to eating or embracing neurodiversity like autism and ADHD, I strive to create a warm and inviting environment for self-discovery.

As someone who identifies as queer, my goal is to create a supportive and empowering space for fellow LGBTQ+ individuals.

I love working with women and couples who are feeling angry, confused, overwhelmed, or depressed after giving birth. Breastfeeding may have been more difficult than you thought.

Let me tell you right now-- YOU ARE. You are not alone, you are not to blame, and with help you can find hope again.

Are you trying to recover after an affair? Do you feel disconnected from your partner? Are you struggling to re-establish the passion in your relationship/marriage? Or are you feeling like you’re the only one working on your marriage/relationship? Do relationships seem to never work out for you? Perhaps you are grieving the loss of a relationship or have found yourself avoiding dating for a while. I specialize working with couples and also individuals who are not currently in intimate relationships. Those clients are either struggling to find healthy relationships or are fearful of attracting unhealthy partners.

Authentic change happens from the inside out. It can't be veneered onto one's surface. Painful life experiences create a complex web inside that shapes a person's world. This web can limit one's ability to find joy and meaning in life. Psychotherapy offers a way to access deep emotional experience. As therapy proceeds connections will start to appear between past & current life experience. Problematic internal patterns will become visible and open to reevaluation and change. As internal stress decreases, clarity, joy and meaning will have the chance to emerge.
