Are you struggling with issues related to
infertility
? Have you had pregnancy losses? Are you tired of the waiting and all of the appointments? I work with women in all parts of their fertility journey (from the beginning of learning about challenges and options, those going through treatments, those recovering from loss and more). Fertility struggles can cause a range of negative emotions and issues such as anxiety, anger, grief, guilt, blame, uncertainty and many more. Your mind has such a great impact on your body and your fertility. I love providing support and emotional tools for women going through their fertility journey.

So many people feel like they have to "power through" symptoms of anxiety or depression--when there is treatment available. You don't deserve to feel this way.

I work with adults of all life stages who are struggling with issues such as Generalized Anxiety, Social Anxiety, Perfectionism, LGBTQIA+ Identity Struggles, Family Conflict, Relational Conflict,
Infertility
, Maternal Mental Health (Perinatal & Postpartum), and so much more.
Taking the plunge and looking for a new therapist can feel scary. Perhaps you’re looking at childhood incidents or trauma with adult eyes or perhaps you’re experiencing interpersonal struggles with friends, family, or colleagues. It is nearly impossible to see your situation clearly when you’re struggling to cope emotionally. That’s where a therapist can help! I like to compare therapy to untangling a ball of yarn. Together we can find a way to organize your thoughts and figure out how to accomplish your goals. In my therapy sessions, I offer a space to explore your thoughts and the purpose behind your actions.

I help people struggling with pregnancy and postpartum anxiety,
infertility
and loss by creating a warm and non-judgmental space to process their emotions and to develop coping skills to start to feel better.
Do you feel anxious most of the time? Perhaps you're trying to get pregnant and the IVF schedule is making your head spin. It may be that you're pregnant, but you're nervous about how a baby will change your relationship and sense of self. Or, you're grieving a loss, and you've heard "at least you know you can get pregnant" one too many times. You want to make sense of all the complicated, and often competing, emotions you feel, so that you can let go of what is no longer serving you.

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.
