Infertility Therapists in Johnson County, IA
I have a special interest in perinatal mental health and have experience working with clients who are attempting to conceive, currently pregnant, postpartum, navigating birth or NICU-related trauma, experiencing infertility/fertility treatment, pregnancy loss, stillbirth, and infant loss.
It can take incredible courage to acknowledge when we are in need of support, and making that first appointment can be a profound step towards positive change. Together we can create a space where you feel supported, valued, and seen as we collaboratively work towards goals that feel meaningful to you. I strive to bring an authentic, non-judgmental, and compassionate presence to sessions that empowers clients as the experts on their own lives. I often use CBT, ACT, exposure and response prevention (ERP), and mindfulness-based techniques in my work with clients.

I work with couples and individuals seeking premarital support, communication issues, intimacy, sex, parenting, infertility, betrayal, remarriage, step-parenting, finances, breaking up, etc.
I offer evidence-based and experience-based tools and strategies to cultivate deeper relationships, increase your ability to be present and improve your overall quality of life. I will help you identify and set achievable goals for yourself, not only so you have a clear path ahead, but also so you can celebrate your achievements along the way.

I'm especially honored to work with those experiencing perinatal challenges including: infertility, miscarriage, birth trauma, NICU stays, postpartum anxiety, and postpartum depression.
I focus on getting to know you as a person before diving into any particular theory, modality, or intervention. For many people, getting out of the mind and reconnecting with the body can be very helpful. For others, simply having a space to talk can be beneficial. You get to decide what feels most comfortable. We move at your pace.

The journey to and through parenthood can be a wild ride. So much is changing within you, and maybe life is changing a lot around you, too. It can be hard to build confidence in yourself when you're struggling with anxiety, self-doubt, mom/dad guilt, or picking up the pieces after trauma and loss. There’s so much pressure to be perfect, and to do it all with little to no help. Maybe you compare yourself to others – they got pregnant right away, and I didn’t. They make this look so easy… why am I struggling so much? I just want to feel like myself again. Yep, I see you! It's possible to grow through this, not just go through it.

My accepting approach is secured in the notion that we all deserve to be welcomed just as we are, including the problems and struggles we bear. Even if our problems have no straightforward answers, we can learn to live with and through them when we are better connected to ourselves and others.

I take care to recognize how family of origin, cultural, and contextual factors inform our habits, perceptions, and sense of well-being.

Infertility Therapists
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 behavioral 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.
