My specialization in infertility and perinatal loss is enhanced by both my personal and professional experiences with the challenges of family building and issues of loss.
Welcome! In my work with individuals, couples, and families, I take a collaborative approach with my clients to help best meet their own unique needs. Clients have described me as warm, engaging, and compassionate - with an ability to quickly put them at ease. Before going into private practice, I worked with a wide array of clients at various agencies including outpatient mental health clinics, county counseling programs, and an agency with its foundation in the expressive arts. I have a Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy and another Masters in Theatre Education. I enjoy finding creative solutions to problems.

Infertility and pregnancy loss leave us feeling anxious and helpless about making the dream of a family come true.
As a therapist who specializes and is trained in treating infertility, I understand that you may not be able to share your struggles with others or know how to navigate the rollercoaster of emotions that can seemingly come out of nowhere. Therapy is a safe place to share all of your worries, questions, anger, and grief without judgment or being a burden.

My specialty is centered around those who are undergoing reproductive challenges, including struggling to become pregnant, staying pregnant, or adjusting post-pregnancy. Whether working with an individual, a couple, or a group. I continually seek feedback on how treatment is progressing for them. Therapy should be an effective collaborative effort. Additionally, I'm certified in EMDR, which helps to alleviate what might be stuck in the body so that the mind can heal.

Although I am an intake and assessment therapist, my ideal client is a woman who is struggling with parenting alone and division of labor despite having a partner. I love working with moms and have a passion for bringing awareness to the married single mom syndrome. I believe women are more than their labor, and I'm on a mission to help women put themselves first.

You’ve been holding it together for everyone else—but inside, you’re exhausted, grieving, or wondering when you’ll finally feel like yourself again. Maybe you’re grieving something others can’t see—the end of a relationship, a falling out with family, or the loss of the life you thought you’d have. Maybe your grief feels complicated: a miscarriage, abortion, or a birth experience that didn’t go as planned. Or maybe it’s the quiet kind that comes from burnout, identity shifts, or watching someone you love change.

Depression, anxiety, medical and behavioral problems, mood disorders, relationship issues, and infertility are some of the wide range of problems I encounter in my practice.
Taking the first step to engage in psychotherapy is often a struggle. I believe that it is my job to make this process as safe and comfortable as possible through a confidential and supportive therapeutic environment. I view each client as a unique individual with different experiences, strengths, and vulnerabilities. I tailor my therapeutic approach to fit the client's needs, symptoms and skills.

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.
