Infertility Therapists in Brookeville, MD
I try to make the process of starting therapy as straight forward and welcoming as possible. My approach is to get to know you by creating an atmosphere where you can speak freely about your life. Everybody has frustrations, doubts, aches, unpredictable circumstances, and a desire for growth and connection. Without proper attention, these difficulties can sometimes develop into depression, anxiety, and destructive behaviors. I believe in the importance of enduring relationships, meaningful work, balance, creativity, and taking good care of yourself. I am available for consultations, individual therapy, couples therapy, group therapy, and referrals to family therapy and psychiatric care.

As we move through life, we may find ourselves in moments of confusion about who we are, where we're going, and wondering if we can meet the new challenges and experiences that await us. Pursuing an education, establishing a career, dating and forming lasting relationships, ending relationships, starting a family – each new chapter in the book of our lives can be incredibly uncomfortable AND deeply exciting! But sometimes you need help avoiding the overwhelm, over-thinking, and confusion accompanying change so you can master your mind, turn desire into action, keep progress steady, and your relationships vibrant and connected.

I have experience in both psychotherapy and fertility counseling, which I integrate to support the medical, psychological, social, and relational aspects of infertility and pregnancy loss.
I specialize in therapy for infertility and pregnancy loss (e.g., miscarriage, stillbirth, recurrent pregnancy loss, terminations for fetal anomalies), helping individuals and couples to process and grow from the trauma and loss associated with these experiences. Fertility issues and/or miscarriages can leave one feeling depressed, anxious, and stressed, yet isolated and misunderstood, and in need of support and understanding. My approach to treatment is to use empathy, normalization, and validation to help women mourn their losses, process trauma, and reduce feelings of shame and inadequacy often brought on by a pregnancy loss.

As a therapist who specializes and is trained in treating infertility, I understand that you may not be able to share your struggles with others or know how to navigate the rollercoaster of emotions that can seemingly come out of nowhere.
Infertility and pregnancy loss leave us feeling anxious and helpless about making the dream of a family come true. You may feel the rug has just been pulled out from under you, yet you are trying to keep it all together on the outside. You struggle with sleeping and focusing at work, and your partner thinks you are stressing yourself out. You want to talk to your friends and family but don’t want to be a burden. Plus, all they tell you to do is “just relax and it will happen.”

I have specialized experience working with infertility, PCOS, grief work & anxiety.
Whenever we face change, obstacles, loss, and/or new chapters in life, it's natural to encounter a whirlwind of mixed emotions—grief, anxiety, excitement, & fear. Our internal experiences can become so loud, and unsettling at times, that we can miss out on what is happening right in front of us. Together we can find flexibility & freedom when faced with these challenging life experiences. In addition to helping people cope with anxiety, grief, & life transitions, I work with women who are experiencing body image challenges/disordered eating & reproductive health challenges. Women deserve support when navigating these complex issues.

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.
