Infertility Therapists in Oak Island, NC

Are you a woman who has recently been diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), or are you experiencing infertility? If you answered yes to either, or maybe even both of those questions, I am here to tell you that I can help. Living with both PCOS and/or infertility can be an isolating road, but it does not have to be. In our work together, we will not only process any and all feelings that you may have regarding where you are currently at on that road, but we will also work to find helpful reframes, introduce effective coping skills and maybe even learn a new thing or two along the way. I am passionate about this work!

I approach therapy from a person-centered perspective, focusing on your individual needs and goals.

There is nothing more important than family. Nuclear family. Extended family. Chosen family. All family. As humans, we are biologically wired to think about family building at a young age. As we age, this vision shifts and changes based on life experiences. But when we are faced with the reality that the vision we planned on throughout our life is not possible, it’s traumatic. Our world is rocked. Feelings of being out of control, overwhelmed, shame, and grief often surface. It’s all consuming. Anxious thoughts takeover. The trauma and stress that comes along with family building challenges is significant.

I take great ownership within the foundation that I have been able to build within myself that has allowed me to have a keen sense and awareness within the therapy space. In our therapy sessions, one will often hear me talk about ‘the core,’ what is one’s core searching for, healing from, running away from, hiding from. My passion is to work and walk with you through what’s actually going on in your life to help you rebuild confidence, find hope, and restore a greater connection with who you really are.

If you are the person, everyone turns to, who do YOU turn to? You give everything to everyone else but never have time for you. It gets tiring always being the ''strong'' one. I see you. You might be struggling to get through the day or question yourself and your worth. This can look like anxiety, depression, problems recovering from a traumatic experience as an adult or as a child.

Is your relationship not living up to its fullest potential? Are you having trouble connecting with your partner? You’re not failing. A relationship isn’t a failure because you’re having trouble connecting. You’re just simply having a difficult time understanding one another. The truth is that we won’t always understand each other, as we each have our own distinct personalities, wants, needs, and desires. Relationships, intimate and familial, are such beautiful and powerful things, but they also come with a lot of stress. It is my ultimate goal to help you, help you and yours.

Life doesn’t always go as planned, and sometimes the path forward is too uncertain or scary to navigate alone. I want to help you find a pathway out of the darkness of anxiety, anger, or depression. I want to give you the support and empathetic guidance you need to make it through the difficulties you’re facing and embrace your bad-ass, confident self. I strive to help my clients gain a better understanding of themselves, and a more positive outlook on challenges that they may face. I believe that every person’s path is their own, and I want to provide a judgement-free space where you can find your way to the light.

Relationships are complicated; family is hard, and communication breaks down. I support people who are ready to grow by looking at their behavioral and communication patterns, practice new tools, and make healthy changes to feel better in their most important relationships. My clients want to spend less energy recovering from unnecessary drama and more time having fun together. They are doing the work to shift unhealthy intergenerational patterns, heal and prevent trauma, and develop confidence to love themselves and others deeply.

Navigating grief and loss in a society that can misunderstand the grief trajectory can be challenging and isolating. My practice is dedicated to helping individuals and families navigate grief, loss and bereavement, understanding the intricate and complex emotions experienced, using holistic therapy modalities to assist with the coping and healing process. No matter when grief has been experienced in life, be it 10 days ago or 10 years ago, the effects of unprocessed grief can cause disruption across many aspects of the lifespan. Grief is an individualized experience that needs time, with no right or wrong way to feel and grieve.

I believe everyone is unique, has an inner potential for healing and therapy is a cooperative process to reveal that potential. I use Redecision and Energy psychotherapy in a powerful treatment for changing and achieving an autonomous self. I am a Redecision Certified Therapist and a AIT Certified Practitioner. I am trilingual (English, Portuguese,Spanish) and have a special interest in cultures. In my work with multicultural families, I developed an extreme sense of respect, sensitiveness and appreciation for the distinctiveness of all my clients. I offer a nonjudgmental and safe environment in which we build our therapeutic relationship, an important element for healing.

I understand that many people suffer from anxiety and depression. When we ignore these issues it can have a negative impact on our daily lives. It can affect our personal relationships, the ability to deal with our work environment and prevent us from feeling good about ourselves. Nobody wants to experience this but many of us do and we often don't know how to deal with these feelings. If you're willing to take the first step and seek guidance there is a way to become better at navigating these issues. Sometimes all you need is someone to help show you the path to a better quality life.
