Do you feel anxious, overwhelmed, or not quite like yourself? Maybe it shows up as a busy mind or emotions that feel tangled, stuck, or just out of reach. Or maybe there’s a quieter sense of disconnection from your body, your direction, or something harder to name. You may be someone who functions well on the outside, holding a lot together, while your inner experience feels more complex or harder to access. Therapy can be a space to pause, listen more closely, and begin making sense of what has been carried, avoided, or pushed aside.

I can help you get off that annoying wire hamster wheel you've been running around in, watching the wheels spin faster and yet going nowhere, staying stuck. When we get caught up in patterns of toxic striving, we focus on finding answers and solutions or chasing hits of validation. That chase can be hopeless and exhausting; it never ends. As soon as you feel like you've "nailed it" in one area of life, a new challenge pops up. I founded my practice, HumanKind Psych, to help overthinkers, people-pleasers and burned-out high achievers let go of the quest for answers or a quick fix, in favor of finding freedom and fulfillment in life.

Working with and supporting families through some of life’s most difficult transitions is what led me to a deep desire to support families during one of the biggest transitions: pregnancy and parenthood. My own journey to motherhood highlighted the critical need for specialized support in perinatal mental health. I often felt alone, as though nobody ever spoke about the things I was experiencing. Understanding the unique emotional complexities surrounding pregnancy, childbirth, and the identity shift of parenthood, I am passionate about ensuring that others don’t feel “alone” in their experiences.

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.
