Women-specific mental health care is an often sought out and vastly underserved service. Being a mother, for example- wether you're a stay at home, working in the home or working outside of the home- poses unique challenges that many can relate to, but not many know how to navigate. The range of struggles in motherhood are as unique as mothers are- wether you're a seasoned mom struggling to find your identity again, to a new mom struggling with post partum- its a lot. Sometimes it can feel as if you're drowning. You deserve more.

Training in the areas of trauma and maternal mental health enables me to assist clients with perinatal anxiety and mood disorders, pregnancy loss, infertility, stressful birth experiences and difficulties in the transition to motherhood.
I work with women of all ages who experience anxiety, overwhelm and struggle to focus on their own needs. Problem areas may include becoming explosive or frustrated toward those you love and having difficulty changing your emotional reactions no matter how hard you try. You may feel like your life is not headed in the direction you would like it to go. Common concerns specific to women who have children include anger and rage, resentment, not feeling like yourself and feeling as though you can’t keep it together like “all the other moms.”

In a general sense, my ideal client to work with is someone who is interested in growing as a person, and finding a life that works for them and their needs. In this changing world, we all need to embrace moments of honest reflection, and having this as a goal goes a long way towards approaching the life we want. When it comes to families and couples, my ideal client is one who realizes that "staying the course" isn't working anymore - and that winning the argument isn't worth the arguing.

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.
