I can help address issues such as post partum depression, postpartum anxiety, issues with infertility, life transitions, relationship issues, anger management, social issues, self-esteem, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, parenting and child/adolescent development and personal growth.
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.

It can be hard to imagine talking to a stranger about your deepest feelings and life experiences. Some of us can treat our own friends with more sensitivity than we can summon up for our own pain, and for the way we react to difficulties we encounter. Self-empathy and self-nurturing can be learned even as an adult.

Are you feeling sad, anxious, lonely or stressed out? Are you having relationship problems? Do you think that your partner is not responsive to your needs? Are you tired of feeling this way? It seems that the time has come to try something new and seek professional help. You have probably tried working these problems out by yourself, hoping things will change. Maybe you have spoken with friends and family, but you still feel stuck.

Most of the clients I see are ready to create change in their lives. They feel defeated, stressed, overwhelmed, out of control, afraid, spread too thin, unorganized, and sometimes hopeless. Many are of college age; seniors in high school getting ready for their next big life transition and managing related stress, or college students who are having difficulty balancing all of the demands placed on them. I also treat many clients experiencing stressors in all stages of adult life beyond college, including identity development, relationship issues, anxiety, depression, stress management, illness, parenting, and family issues.

Life can be overwhelming with complex and unexpected stressors occurring everyday. It can also feel isolating and overwhelming when you feel like no one understands you or find someone to talk to about your struggles. While reaching out for help can be scary and even somewhat intimidating, it can lead you on a new path in finding yourself in a rewarding experience.

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.
