My specializations include couples work, women's life transitions,
infertility
, perinatal mood & anxiety disorders, maternal well-being, intermarriage and parenting.
Couples come to therapy often feeling frustrated, defensive, hurt and angry. Love, attraction and shared life goals may have brought them together, but along the way to deeper emotional intimacy couples meet roadblocks. Growing self-awareness and curiosity about their partner helps them appreciate their differences as enriching rather than threatening. Partners realize that each of them has a role in cultivating the quality of their relationship. Partners learn to support each other's growth and expand their horizons together. Their relationship feels more alive and hopeful. Therapy nurtures the art of relationships for all of us.

I treat individuals who have experienced challenges and/or complications with fertility/
infertility
, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.
What if a time that you expected to bring so much joy and excitement, instead brought trauma and grief? What if the birth of your baby was one of the worst days of your life instead of one of the best? If you’ve experienced birth trauma or perinatal trauma, I want you to first know that you’re not alone. Trauma can be incredibly isolating and all-consuming, but there is hope. Treatment is not only possible but highly effective.

I work with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, addiction,
infertility
, adoption, life transitions, trauma, shame, gender identity issues, loss and bereavement. My work with clients often focuses on exploring the ways in which our personal narratives can limit how we see ourselves, causing us to over-identify with our stories, repeat painful patterns of behavior, and feel stuck or trapped within those patterns. I work to help clients connect with their own inner wisdom, transcend limiting experiences, and discover new ways of feeling and being in the world.

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.
