Brene Brown once said, "The truth is that falling hurts. The dare is to keep being brave and feel your way back up." Sometimes, this can be a daunting realization, but you don't have to do it alone! My own experiences with grief, loss, infertility, anxiety and other life changes have shown me a level of familiarity and connection that cannot be taught, allowing me to connect with others in need of support. I received my Master's Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2022, am an LPC-Associate, supervised by Lisa Salazar, DMFT, LPC-S and it would be an honor to walk alongside in your journey to peace and healing!

My own personal experiences throughout my life with infertility and childhood trauma have driven me towards my devotion to helping others as well as advocating for how beneficial and critical counseling is for the individual, no matter what stage in life one may find themselves in.
I enjoy working and partnering with individuals who seek to enhance their well-being. Dealing with life's many trials can create a confusing environment for us and processing through those emotions can be difficult. I am here to walk with you and assist you through your journey. I am considered a trauma therapist through the life span and particularly work with adults and children struggling with complex PTSD and the effects of trauma. The specific traumas I work with are sexual trauma and childhood trauma. I also have a strong passion for individuals walking through the painful valley of infertility/reproductive trauma.

Let's face it, life can be stressful. That stress can become even more pronounced as you navigate new transitions like becoming an adult, moving to a new city, starting a new job, or leaving a relationship. Often times we have the answer but just need help sorting things out. Sometimes family and friends can be too close to help you identify your challenges. Sometimes THEY are the challenge. Working and trying to manage day-to-day responsibilities is no simple task. This is why I a firm believer in therapy.

You find yourself thinking, "Maybe things will get better if we just get through this rough season" "Things won't change" "I can't do anything right" "I guess this is it, I have to settle and suffer in silence" "I'm a failure" You end up feeling rejected and a deep pain. Your hearts hurts and you don't know what to do. The truth is you can have a marriage that works where you feel heard, valued, and understood.

I believe it is an honor to be able to work with clients during particularly challenging periods of their lives. I believe God has a purpose and a plan for each of us. Sometimes we need a time of reflection and evaluation of our perspectives to be able to move forward. Seeds of depression and anxiety can be hindering God’s best for our lives. The great news is that these can be overcome.

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.
