Infertility Therapists in Montgomery, OH
Our brains really are wired for connection. It’s a beautiful thing, and it can also make disconnection feel so painful, confusing, and hard. Whether you feel disconnected from yourself or a partner because of trauma, betrayal, anxiety, or other struggles, I start my work with clients from the same foundation – the idea that all behavior makes sense in context. Simply put, you are doing the best you can with what you know, even if it’s not the way you want to show up. Starting from that perspective can help unravel the shame associated with patterns you find yourself stuck in with your partner or with yourself.

You look like you’re holding it together — but inside, you feel overwhelmed, reactive, or stuck in patterns you can’t break. Maybe you keep having the same arguments, feel misunderstood, or wonder why relationships feel harder than they should. Sometimes anxiety, emotional intensity, or shutdown aren’t personality flaws — they’re survival patterns. You don’t need to be fixed.

In psychotherapy, one size does not fit all. I tailor therapy to individuals' needs and strengths.

As a health psychologist, I also help clients with health-related issues. In my 6-week Stress Management Program I teach mind-body techniques and tools for use in daily life, including several mindfulness techniques. My supportive, respectful, and collaborative approach is the foundation of my work, and I welcome questions about my practice. I am a PsyPact provider.

Working with Individuals, Couples and Families around a variety of issues is a gift and an honor. Seeking professional help takes courage and strength and is a choice that I deeply respect. While some clients are struggling with long-term issues that are affecting their daily lives, others are seeking a confidential space to talk through a specific relationship issue or difficult life stage. My goal is to work cooperatively with clients to help facilitate their personal, emotional, physical and spiritual growth. My hope is for clients to leave my office feeling respected, heard, understood, empowered and mobilized for change.

I also support those experiencing infertility and loss.
Parenthood not going how you thought it would? Maybe you’ve “just relaxed” for over a year now and you’re still not pregnant. Or perhaps your journey has been halted by an unexpected loss. Everyone is pregnant around you and you’ve just been invited to another baby shower. Entering parenthood rarely goes as planned. We are fed this narrative that we will get pregnant, have the delivery of our choosing and instantly bond with our baby. We answer endless questions about our infant’s sleep habits and post our monthly baby pictures. In reality, we haven’t brushed our teeth in three days and want to rage every time our partner speaks.

I have additional certification in couple's counseling and infertility counseling.
The house goes quiet and your mind start racing. You’re tossing and turning over yesterday’s mistakes or tomorrow’s fears, and some nights, the anxiety is just a nameless buzz that won't let you settle. You're used to being the person with all the answers, but now you're noticing people (your partner, kids, co-workers) are hesitant to approach you. It’s exhausting to live that way, knowing deep down that your life has become more about surviving than actually enjoying the things that matter most.

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.
