Infertility Therapists in Hopewell City County, VA

Our team at Strength & Ease Psychotherapy offers couple therapy for folks living in Virginia and DC. Couples come to us with unresolved relationship conflicts, needing reconnection and healing, or support with a breach of trust or longstanding resentment. They may also be seeking help with infertility, birth loss or trauma, postpartum depression or anxiety, parenting issues, grief, or complicated childhood experiences that impact their current relationship. We work together to close the gaps of disconnection, repair the ruptures between you, and create more vulnerability, trust, and emotional and physical intimacy.

Want to find your way back to yourself, your happiness and your loved ones? Is there a relationship in your life that isn’t feeling so great?

Whether you're facing challenging life transitions, navigating through relationship difficulties, or simply yearning for meaningful connections with yourself or others, you've come to the right place. I help individuals and couples turn their heartache into a breakthrough.
