My practice includes people experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, relationship challenges, infertility, adoption, postpartum, pregnancy loss, parenting issues, grief, loss and elder care.
Asking for help, is a strength, not a weakness. Almost everyone experiences some sort of mental health struggle over a lifetime, because being human can sometimes be hard. While these moments can feel overwhelming, they are also an invitation to grow. I believe the therapeutic experience must be grounded within a foundation of compassion and collaboration. I value a client-centered, solution-focused and holistic approach when working with people and together we can expand awareness of the sources of ones challenges and move in the direction of desired changes and personal growth.

My practice consists of working with adults struggling with infertility, depression, anxiety, addiction, and relationship issues.
When you're depressed, anxious or struggling in a difficult relationship being able to move through the world in an authentic way can feel almost impossible, especially when experiencing fertility and other stress related issues. I offer a safe environment to allow you to express yourself without judgment. I will work with you to understand how you are able to create a healthier, happier, more meaningful life. I have seen how the process of psychotherapy that I employ can help people change their state of being and working towards their best version of themselves as human beings.

In the last 19 years I have focused on Women's issues such as Pregnancy, Postpartum and Infertility and Loss and the effect these issues have on the woman and her partner.
I've been in private practice for over thirty years. I believe therapy is mostly about the relationship between the therapist and client. I feel change happens when a person finally feels safe enough to express their deepest fears and dreams, their childhood experiences and current struggles. I try to provide a comfortable environment for my clients so that they can be free to be authentic.

Do you find yourself on an emotional rollercoaster, feeling exhausted, irritable, and unsure of your path through parenthood? Perhaps bonding with your baby feels like an uphill battle. Maybe you're grappling with the overwhelming emotions that can follow a miscarriage, abortion, or birth trauma. Infertility may have left you feeling isolated, like no one truly understands your struggle. In these moments of uncertainty, it's easy to feel lost, confused, and sad. You might even have unsettling thoughts and images about your baby, leading to guilt and shame. It's okay to admit that sometimes, parenthood doesn't feel so joyful.

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.
