Infertility & Perinatal Therapy

Support for Every Step of the Journey—From Preconception to Postpartum and Parenthood

Every person’s journey to and in parenthood is unique and does not always follow the vision you set out for yourself. You might be feeling anxious, hopeless, isolated, angry or as though you have lost all sense of control. Or perhaps you are grieving. There can be many complex emotions that come with the decision to expand your family and I feel passionately about helping individuals navigate and process every decision and stage of their family building journey. Infertility, pregnancy loss, and challenges with pregnancy and the postpartum period can often be overlooked, minimized, and misunderstood, even by those with the best of intentions. Whether your path includes pregnancy, loss, infertility, third party reproduction, adoption, or the decision to be childfree, both by choice or by circumstance, I am here.

I am here to offer support, help you feel heard and work with you to develop the skills to feel more in control of your life. Becoming and being a parent can challenge you in both difficult and beautiful ways. You deserve to prioritize your health and well-being so that you can live fully and meaningfully as a present and emotionally available parent.

 

​When walking through infertility and postpartum struggles, therapy can often include:​

  • Processing grief, trauma, and loss—including miscarriage, failed fertility treatments, birth trauma, or a shifting vision of the future

  • Managing anxiety, depression, and other mental health symptoms that may arise during infertility, pregnancy, or postpartum

  • Exploring identity shifts and the emotional impact of becoming (or trying to become) a parent

  • Unpacking childhood or family dynamics that may resurface during the perinatal experience

  • Developing healthy coping strategies for stress, uncertainty, and emotional overwhelm

  • Navigating relationship changes and challenges, including with partners, family, or friends

  • Identifying and addressing negative or self-critical thought patterns

  • Supporting decision-making around treatment options, next steps, or family-building choices

  • Learning through psychoeducation about the emotional, hormonal, and psychological impacts of this phase of life

  • Building self-advocacy skills for navigating medical systems, family expectations, and social pressures

 

I come to therapy as collaborative, non-judgmental and empathetic and hold space for you to sit with and process your natural, emotional responses. I understand that making the decision to begin therapy can sometimes come with feelings of hesitancy but with the right support, we have the ability to grow and thrive through our struggles.

I am a member of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine and have specialized postgraduate education and training in fertility counseling and perinatal mental health.
