I use a blend of therapeutic styles to treat the following: reproductive loss and
infertility
, miscarriage, postpartum depression/anxiety, grief and loss, life transitions, depression and anxiety.
Making the choice to seek and begin therapy can take a lot of courage, yet it is often the first step towards resolving those issues in our lives that take away from the happiness and fulfillment that we deserve. I strongly feel that effective therapy is dependent on a good fit between a client and clinician where collaboration is encouraged. I believe it is best to tailor my therapeutic approach based on the individual's goals, personality, and lifestyle. It is my priority to create a safe space and nonjudgmental environment where people can gain clarity, self- awarenss, empowerment and overcome personal challenges.

"Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?" (Mary Oliver) -- This question lies at the heart of my work, with my goal being to help clients live more authentic and connected lives through self-awareness, resilience and positive change. My approach is flexible, interactive and solution-oriented. I bring a mindful perspective to psychotherapy and tend to see life transitions as opportunities for transformation and growth. My clients have said that my calm demeanor and my careful, empathic listening promote a safe and reflective environment, fostering self-compassion, self-awareness and change.

I help people through life stresses and transitions, including college adjustment, loss,
infertility
issues, and career issues.
My approach begins with a sensitive and empathic understanding of what brought you to seek help. Then, we will discuss what approach would be best suited to you. I welcome people from all backgrounds--regardless of race, ethnicity, sexuality, gender identity, or religion. People I work with tend to want to understand the roots of the feelings or symptoms that trouble them, so that they can become more resilient to life's challenges. When it is practiced to its fullest potential, therapy engages deeply with your whole self, so that you can make profound and sustainable changes in your life.

Lengthy waitlist at this time for general inquiries. I do prioritize perinatal clients. I am only able to respond to contacts for reproductive issues- 5/2023. My ideal client has clear, agreed upon goals and is ready to make transformations in their life and their experience; someone who is ready to do the work to find relief from suffering, not just learning to tolerate suffering. I use innovative approaches to find what works for you to make a change. I consider it an honor to walk with people on their life journey if even for only 45 minutes once a week for some time. You are not alone, you will be well.

I specialize in supporting individuals and couples build confidence and find their voice, especially in their relationships, sex lives, and when dealing with
infertility
.
Communicating openly with your partner has felt more and more difficult lately. You're not sure how to speak what's on your mind without worrying that you might make things worse or end up hurting their feelings. Maybe you second guess every word that comes out and find yourself bracing for impact. It's hard to say what you mean when you were never taught how to advocate for your own voice. You're left feeling frustrated and alone, and because it's easier you just avoid the hard conversations. All this means there's more distance between the two of you because you suppress and deny your needs and the problem never gets solved.

Sometimes our job (as therapists) is to carry the hope for our clients until they can carry it themselves. The fact that you are considering therapy means that you want to believe that your situation can improve. While hope is not always easy to come by, human beings are resilient, we are survivors, and it is okay to seek help when the load gets too heavy to carry on our own. Psychotherapy is a collaborative process. I will work with you to develop the insight and skills needed to overcome challenges so that you can live a healthier/happier life.

Do you struggle with worrying more than you would like? Is your mood lower than you would like it to be? Are you overwhelmed by the challenges of work or school, relationships, and family? Perhaps you are finding parenting more challenging than you had imagined or would like to find someone to talk with your child or adolescent. I have experience with a variety of clinical issues including anxiety, depression, adjustment difficulties, parenting challenges, trauma, adoption and attachment issues, LGBTQ and women’s issues. Whatever the stresses you are facing, talking through them in a warm, safe environment can make a difference.

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.
