Sometimes we start therapy not feeling clear about what brings us to the work. We just know we want to feel better. I strive to cultivate a compassionate, safe environment for my clients, enabling them to clarify goals, identify inherent strengths and build skills to better cope with challenges they face. Although I am grounded in a psychodynamic approach to therapy, I am well-trained in a variety of modalities. I tailor my approach to fit what you need at a particular point in time so that you feel more informed, grounded and agile- better able to manage how you experience life.

As a naturopathic doctor, I offer a holistic approach to mental health. I work with patients who are dealing with anxiety, depression, insomnia, fatigue, difficulty with concentration and poor memory. Often these symptoms are hand in hand with gastrointestinal issues, headaches, irregular or painful menses,
infertility
and other hormonal imbalances. By treating the whole person I can get to the root cause of the symptoms, looking at genetic, dietary/lifestyle, and other factors that might be contributing. I do not offer mental health counseling, however I work closely with several therapists to offer collaborative care.

Are you experiencing anxiety or grief due to trauma,
infertility
, or perinatal concerns? Perhaps you’re experiencing depression that feels hopelessly deep? These experiences can keep you from enjoying your relationships fully, steal your joy and motivation, or leave you feeling isolated. You might be feeling like things will never get better. Perhaps you are ready for relief. You are ready to feel calm, centered, and hopeful. Most of all, you are ready to feel empowered with resources that will strengthen you as you move out of a difficult place.

Truth. Life’s complicated and we’re too hard on ourselves. My clients are typically women going through two key transitions in their life: emerging adulthood and adjusting to parenthood. My clients are often leaving home, graduating school, establishing their careers, and starting a family. They are often really good at taking care of others and not so good at taking care of themselves. I specialize in working with anxiety, self-doubt, perfectionism, boundary and relationship challenges. As well as concerns related to the adjustment to parenthood, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, birth trauma,
infertility
, and pregnancy loss.

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.
