Therapy for Fertility Challenges

A negative pregnancy test – again.

Devastation. Loss. Frustration. Worry.

Your dream of being a parent was just crushed in an instant.

Will it ever happen? Will I ever have a baby?

Putting on a happy face at your friends’ baby showers. Fighting back the tears. Hoping no one notices.

It’s hard to talk to anyone about it. Friends tell you to “just relax,” and you’ll get pregnant. Relax?

How are you supposed to relax when your mind is swirling with worry?

You worry that none of the treatments will work.

You worry that you and your spouse/partner won’t agree on which parenting path to take.

You worry that you might argue and grow more distant.

You worry that you might feel more alone when you talk about it.

What if no one really gets what you are going through?

I get it.

It’s like being on an emotional roller coaster every month.

I know. I’ve struggled with fertility challenges, and I understand what it’s like to be on that emotional roller coaster.

It’s a terrible place to be. If you’re feeling anxious, depressed, angry, and lonely, that’s totally normal. What makes it even worse is being out of sync with your partner or spouse. There’s so much shame, blame, and fear between you that it’s challenging to get close.

You are not a failure. I’m going to say that again. You are not a failure.

I want you to let yourself off the hook and realize that you are struggling with something way more significant than you – and out of your control. No one prepared you for all these decisions and treatments you are facing, and it is entirely overwhelming.

It’s time to find some relief.

Whether you are an individual or a same-sex/heterosexual couple, I can help you navigate these fertility challenges. No matter where you are in the process, whether you are trying on your own, undergoing fertility treatments, preparing for third-party reproduction, or considering adoption, I am here to help!

Sitting with me, you know you are with someone who truly understands. Not only have I been there myself, but I have been leading infertility support groups for years.

My experience and knowledge of fertility challenges, coupled with my warmth, compassion, and skilled approach, will help you feel cared for, validated, calm, and grounded.

Our work together will promote healing around losses and hardships, improve your relationships, alleviate stress, enhance your communication, boost your self-esteem, and create clarity around the tough decisions that you are facing.

Why wait to feel relief?

Let’s get you off that emotional roller coaster and onto steady ground.

I’m excited to get started with you.
