Do you feel stuck on a roller coaster of hope and disappointment? Are you exhausted trying to stay positive while struggling to cope day to day? Are you devastated when you find out a friend had a second child while you have been desperately trying to have one? Do you avoid friends and family because you feel heartbroken and jealous of their pregnancies? Do you worry that stress is the reason you aren’t pregnant? Stress doesn't cause infertility - but infertility does cause stress! You can learn ways to cope with the stress of infertility and you deserve to enjoy your life!
When I meet with someone, we make a plan to help things feel manageable. Then, I will help you learn to shift your thoughts and take the power away from your fears. With practice, these changes will become a normal way of thinking. Finally, you will have the energy to focus on enjoying and appreciating the life that you have.
I specialize in infertility, pregnancy loss, third-party reproduction, postpartum depression and anxiety, chronic illness, stress in medical professionals, ADHD and anxiety. I also conduct forensic evaluations for civil litigation. I am licensed in IL, MA, IA and PSYPACT states (psypact.org/mpage/psypactmap). I look forward to hearing from you!
