Infertility Therapists in Dresher, PA

I believe that one of the most important aspects of psychotherapy is establishing trust with your therapist so you can openly and honestly discuss your specific hurdles. My area's of specific expertise are adolescent/adult depression and anxiety as well as working with individuals and couples struggling with infertility . My approach is client focused utilizing a professional network of both traditional and alternative therapies.

I believe that connection to both our deepest selves and others is an integral part of healing. Using compassion, empathy and respect, I strive to genuinely and authentically connect with my clients and walk with them on their journey to greater health, wellness and relationships. I take a strengths-based approach to treatment to ensure that individuals, couples and families can recognize the traits and tools they already possess for growth and change.

In my practice, I encounter people who enter psychotherapy for many reasons - from general issues, including depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem, to specific problems such as family conflict and difficulty reaching career goals. Because individuals’ problems often arise in their interpersonal environments, my goal is to provide a safe and collaborative therapeutic relationship in which you feel understood, supported, and respected as an important aspect of helping you to feel better.

Fertility issues can be so lonely, whether it's struggling to conceive, having recurrent miscarriages, or having to terminate for medical reasons. Everyone around you seems to get (and stay!) pregnant whenever they want, and if one more person tells you to "just relax and it will happen" you may lose it. Thinking about pregnancy takes over everything, your entire identity, and you don't even feel like yourself anymore. Focusing at work and connecting with your partner both feel impossible. And, if you struggled with your mental health before infertility , anxiety and depression are probably off the charts right about now.

Women have specific concerns and needs that can seem to change rapidly, such as mood and body image concerns during monthly cycles. Later on, Trying to Conceive (TTC), or the many emotions that come with Pregnancy, as well as Pregnancy losses and terminations, can be quite challenging and leave you feeling unsure who you can open up to without judgment and unsolicited advice. Birth Trauma, Postpartum Depression, and Anxiety can also feel quite scary and talking to a knowledgeable Therapist in Women's Emotional Health can help you feel validated in your thoughts and fears, reduce guilt, and help you see that you are doing your best!

New Clients Welcome! Specialties: perinatal mental health, parenting, grief, stress, and transitions. Mondays, ugh, right? Transitions can be tough, and we face them, big and small, every day. It’s a big shift to enter college, end a relationship, become a parent, or retire. There are tremendous social challenges navigating one’s identity while our culture pressures us to do more, better, faster, to the point of exhaustion. But we can resist this - we can rest, enjoy, have space and free time. “Hustle culture” can suck the vitality and creativity out of us. Let’s be defiant and invite it back in.

Welcome! I'm so glad you clicked on my profile. Taking a moment to look for support is important self-care! Therapy is a place of refuge and solace; a place to slow down to take a closer look at what has not been fulfilling, what has caused pain, what has lingered and now surfaces as problematic. It's a place to address underlying relationship patterns, trauma, losses, etc. with compassionate support. It is ALSO a place to honor what you have become even in spite of what has left you feeling "stuck," anxious, lost, sad, overwhelmed, fearful, alone, etc.

Anxiety, depression, anger, and low self-esteem are issues that can be overwhelming. I help clients to identify the factors that contribute to these issues, and then assist in formulating a plan to reduce the symptoms and resolve the problems. I provide a warm, nonjudgmental environment to address these concerns. Additionally, I am experienced in working with individuals and couples struggling with relationships and/or parenting. Parenting can be wonderful, but also extremely challenging. Relationships can falter. These situations can bring up unexpected thoughts and feelings that may be difficult to share with friends and family.
