Whether you are dealing with issues of grief and loss, divorce/separation, infertility, anxiety, depression, anger management, parenting, self esteem, adoption, crisis management or anything that keeps you stuck and gets in the way of your progress, I can provide a safe, judgement free zone to help you process your feelings and take charge of your life.
Feeling overwhelmed with life, and don't know where to begin? In today's demanding world, you find yourself with so many things that you are juggling in order to create a healthy balance in your life. No matter how much you put your best foot forward, there is always something that gets in the way, causing you to doubt your progress. You try to push through each day with a smile on your face, but internally you are falling apart. You are living in survival mode and feeling like you are barely making it. Life has a way of making us feel broken down, conflicted and frustrated. I can reassure you that it does not have to be this way.

I am a certified Perinatal Mental Health Professional (PMH-C) with extensive training in perinatal mood & anxiety disorders, birth trauma, infertility, and infant loss.
Therapy can be a transformational process of self-discovery facilitated by deeper levels of awareness and change. I believe we have an inherent ability to heal ourselves, and my primary focus is to honor and trust your experience. Anxiety, depression, trauma, and other life stressors can interfere with living a fulfilling life, causing problems in your life and relationships, and leaving you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, lost or numb. I believe that therapy should meet the individual where they are within their unique set of circumstances.

I have a special interest in working with adolescents and young adults struggling with issues of identity and achievement, individuals dealing with grief and loss, women (and men) experiencing infertility and adoption issues, adults in transition, and fractured parent/child relationships.
At one time or another, any one of us may feel overwhelmed, anxious or depressed. We may feel we are alone in our suffering or going through something no one else can understand. We may turn to drugs, alcohol or reckless behaviors. Our relationships suffer, our identity and self-worth collapse, and the vision we have for a happy, fulfilled future seems impossible to achieve. For many, therapy provides the guidance, skills, support and insight to unravel the source of suffering and change limiting thoughts, beliefs and behaviors into healthy, adaptive ones.

I specialize in relationships, co-dependency, ACOA (adult children of alcoholics), infertility, women's issues, sexual trauma, grief and loss, and life transitions.
Are you having difficulty in your relationships and wondering, "how do I make things better?" Are you experiencing a loss of self, feeling confused and/or depressed? Is it difficult to identify your feelings? Have your feelings become too painful to experience on your own? It is only natural to want to avoid feelings that are painful. It is our basic human instinct to avoid anything that is painful especially emotional pain. Unfortunately, avoiding pain results in maladaptive behavior and difficulties within relationships. Avoiding feelings can result in feeling numb and/or loss of self.

As we grow into ourselves, and life changes, we can begin to notice gaps in our story... We can begin to reflect on how we are shaped by our families, our childhood, our own temperament and our experiences in adulthood. Are we living in line with our goals, beliefs, and values? Do we have a strong sense of identity? Do we have quality relationships in our lives? Starting a family is one of life's greatest periods of reflection, adaptation and role change. It is not one cohesive story that is the same for everyone. There are times we need help navigating and adapting to this part of our life story.

At some point, we all experience tough times. Coping skills falter, feelings may be intense, and we can’t visualize the way forward. If this is where you find yourself, I can help. My practice focuses on clients navigating periods of distress or unexpected change. If you're dealing with loss, life transition, or simply a “rough patch”, I offer support and guidance. My approach is flexible, welcoming, and compassionate. We sort things through together. You'll find that coping skills improve, emotions become manageable, and you understand yourself better. Most importantly, you’ll gain an increased sense of hope.

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.
