My eight years at Memorial Sloan Kettering, has provided a foundation and framework for helping my patients find meaning through life's most difficult transitions and hardships, such as cancer, chronic illness, grief, pregnancy and infertility, divorce, trauma, and relationship challenges.
I view challenges as opportunities for unprecedented growth, development, and enlightenment. As life twists and turns, it's easy to become disconnected from the things that matter most, even the most meaningful aspects of yourself. My approach to therapy is individualized and integrative, I work with you to learn who you are, why you suffer, and where your resilience lies. With this insight, you'll find freedom from regrets of the past, demands and conflicts of the present, and fear of the future. Together we'll draw upon your strengths and help you move through life with a sense of purpose, fulfillment, and authenticity.

Have you ever thought there was a more authentic version of yourself? Maybe you’ve glimpsed this version in the eyes of someone who loves you—like a grandparent, teacher, or friend. They see only the best in you and you feel strong, confident, and content around them. Spoiler alert: this can be you all the time! Due to trauma, stress, or unhelpful conditioning, many of us develop maladaptive coping strategies and negative thought patterns, which keeps us from living authentically.

Imagine going from stressed and overwhelmed to vibrant and confident, able to prioritize your needs without guilt. Many high functioning overachievers reach a point where they feel ready to snap, and numbing out no longer works anymore. In therapy, we look beneath the surface at the patterns driving your overwhelm. Change can feel daunting. Suffering in the familiar can feel easier than facing the uncertainty of something new, but you do not have to face it alone. Together we build emotional clarity, strengthen your ability to handle difficult experiences, and help you reclaim your agency so you can finally feel relief.

My niche is infertility yet my work often encompasses a broader scope of practice.
I specialize in helping clients who want to feel empowered, take control of their lives, and identify habits that may not be serving them. I find great joy in working with individuals who are ready to create change and may be lacking in the tools to help them get where they want to be to achieve their goals. Together we will come up with a plan to help you find your inner strength and resilience and we will work together to help you find the motivation to make change.

My specialty is in all aspects of loss, as reflected in relationship and family conflicts, sexual concerns and difficulties, and the emotional impact of medical illness, infertility, and bereavement.
After more than 40 years in practice, I have found that most clients need a combination of support, insight, and challenging interactions to help them grow and move past whatever obstacles they are facing. I work with individuals and couples on the most intimate aspects of their lives, including their sexuality, relationships, and life and death issues. My style is interactive, and employs uncovering family of origin dynamics, but also more practical, cognitive and behavioral methods to help make changes more quickly.

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.
