Infertility Therapists in New York

Are you struggling in your relationships? Having unresolved issues in your life? Going through life transitions either personally or professionally? This can often lead to increase of stress, anxiety and depression. I believe there are many things in our lives we cannot control but we can try to control how we react to others and circumstances in life. That is where I can assist. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. My therapeutic approach is personalized and collaborative.I work with you to utilize the strategies and modalities that are appropriate to your situation. I start "where the client is at".

Are you troubled by anxiety or intrusive thoughts? Do you struggle in your relationships or feel unfulfilled in your life?

People have a tremendous capacity for change, and I can work with you in understanding patterns that are present in your life. My style is warm, compassionate, and genuine.

Everyone experiences life differently, but one thing that we all have in common is that we don't feel our best all of the time. I believe that each person has the ability to improve the way that they're feeling. I want to learn what your strengths are so that together we can find skills that will empower you and help you to move closer to where you want to be.

Welcome to my practice. In the consulting room, my aim is to meet you where you are. I approach our sessions with no personal agenda, and offer a space for your narrative to unfold naturally. However, rest assured, I am not a silent observer; our work is a collaborative process where two minds come together, engaging in meaningful dialogue and exploration. Together, we navigate your experiences, fostering a dynamic and collaborative therapeutic process. Feel free to contact me for an initial conversation. I believe this first contact is the best way to assess whether we are a good match.

I am available for psychoanalytic psychotherapy to address life struggles, manage anxiety, depression, dissatisfaction and indecision. It is a brave and optimistic step to begin therapy which has the power to heal old wounds, renew self confidence, and expand emotional experience. I have a special interest in helping individuals and families improve communication regarding adoption and donor assisted reproduction. It is never too late to talk with children. Adult resistance to these conversations can reflect difficult life experiences, especially regarding infertility, including experiences of shame and embarrasment.

I am a Clincial Psychologist with many years of post graduate training. I work in a variety of ways, depending upon the unique needs of the person or couple. Psychotherapy is a highly unique opportunity to learn about oneself. At any given time, this process may require me to be interactive and direct or more reserved and reflective as I help people focus on and clarify their needs, feelings, and thoughts.

If you are feeling overwhelmed and helpless due to uncomfortable thoughts and feelings we can help you by providing a safe place to explore your life experiences and feelings at the pace that feels comfortable to you. Drawing on our training and life experiences, we can guide you to reach the goals and dreams that you have set for yourself. We believe in the resilience of the human spirit. Despite the severity of the difficulties that bring you into therapy, we believe that once you are learning new skills, in a confidential, warm environment, your quality of life will improve.

Are you feeling trapped by anxiety, depression or a life crisis? Do you want to break generational cycles and reparent yourself? Do you struggle with chronic health problems, infertility, or transitioning to motherhood? With my experience working in hospital settings, I help clients navigate health systems and find meaning in life with a serious illness. As a maternal mental health specialist, I support clients through the emotional toll of trying to conceive, infertility, and pregnancy. I also specialize in helping clients process damaging childhood experiences and change their patterns for themselves or their children.

I believe that the work of therapy is about developing a healthy relationship with oneself and with other people in your community in order to live a good and meaningful life. By providing a safe and non-judgmental environment, I can help you achieve this goal. I primarily work with women before, during and after pregnancy regarding issues of infertility and postpartum; with individuals, couples, families and small groups. My main practice is home-based.

Are you struggling with infertility? Perhaps you and your partner are contemplating or beginning fertility intervention as a means of having a child. During this time, you are likely navigating a range of distressing emotions, facing critical treatment decisions and feeling isolated in the process. I provide emotional support, guidance and counseling to women and couples in different stages of their family building process. In our work together, I support you to tap into your intrinsic resources: emotional, cognitive, physical and spiritual, so as to overcome infertility, heal from pregnancy loss and stabilize postpartum challenges.

Are you a woman in your 20s, 30s or 40s going through an unexpected life transition and aren't sure how you will handle it? Are you struggling with infertility and being childless not by choice?

I have been practicing in NYC for over 25 years with a speciality in infertility and family building using donor assistance. I have a strong conviction that therapy can help people lead the lives they dream of having. I am able to use my ability to understand my clients and help them resolve what is getting in their way from attaining those dreams. I have a profound respect for people who desire to change their lives by understanding themselves and I am greatly attuned to the different ways that people go about this. I am able to listen, not only to what my clients say, but to what they really want and need.

My goal is to create a uniquely secure space for you to identify your blocks, understand your relationship to them, & find the tools you need to break through. Each of us has an innate potential for change & growth. I will jump into the work with you & be by your side throughout your discovery. My intention is to bring compassion & truth-telling to the process. After nearly two decades as a mindfulness educator, I believe our connection to our mind & body brings us closer to our motivation & inherent resilience. In our work together we’ll explore this connection to guide you toward the truest & most powerful version of yourself.

The trauma of infertility is often unimaginable, unpredictable, and unfair. It is full of loss, sacrifice and a desperate desire for an outcome you fear may never come. The anxiety can be overwhelming. Maybe you are feeling exhausted and alone, terrified of not ever having the life you want. Perhaps you are struggling with feelings of guilt, anger or emptiness and a deep longing for a change in your circumstances. Depression is usually not far behind on this journey and compounds an already shattered worldview.
