You didn't realize just how overwhelmed, broken, and alone you'd feel. Suffering through infertility is beyond devastating. Infertility brings stress, anxiety, and depression right up to the surface and impacts everything, especially our most meaningful relationships. Even 'happy' things end up in a complex mash-up of emotions. Despite your best efforts, the emotional roller coaster and quiet despair haven't gone away. You try so so hard. And yet, you are lost, filled with worry and guilt. You fear losing connection with the person you once were before the chaos of infertility.

I value circuitous paths in life and recognize that no one's journey is exactly the same as anyone else’s. I get it and provide a forum for you to embark on a journey; a journey in selfhood, dating and relating, fertility, education or in your career.  Working with me is a good match for you if you want a companion by your side – someone who will guide, encourage, challenge, support, and advocate for you while you journey.

Soren Kierkegaard, A Danish Philosopher, once said, “Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.” Therapy is a journey of self-discovery. Therapy allows us the time and space to look inwards and explore our feelings, thoughts and behaviors to find some answers for ourselves. It is our time to tell our story so that we can make connections and find meaning in what we are feeling. We all grow and develop in the context of our experiences and relationships, and only when we understand the impact those experiences have had on our being, can we find the inner strength to move forwards with our lives.

Welcome to my practice. I have over 30 years of experience providing therapy to individuals and couples from very diverse backgrounds with regards to ethnicity, religion, age, country of origin, and sexual orientation. The therapy I do tends to be short-term, "here-and-now" focused, goal oriented, and skills based. I believe my clients want to change their behaviors, and not just "talk" about what's going wrong. My therapeutic style is collaborative, non-judgmental, warm and compassionate. I'm not a "one size fits all" therapist because every client is unique. I offer a Good Faith Estimate at the client's request.

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.
