Infertility is a journey that no one signed up for. For those who want children, it’s simply devastating to be unable to expand your family as planned, while others around you move forward with their lives. Yet 1 in 8 couples experience infertility and many others experience barriers—systemic, financial, and biological—to pursuing their family-building dreams. In my practice, I focus on issues related to fertility (delayed parenthood, egg-freezing, pregnancy loss, donor-conception, surrogacy, IVF, and other forms of family-building). I understand the intense stress these issues can place on your relationships and mental health.
If you’re experiencing obstacles to your dream of having children, you may be dealing with deep disappointment, depression, anger, loss, isolation, and spiritual questioning. You may be hoping to regain a sense of control over your life, and longing for a safe, supportive space, where you can process grief & loss while carving out a meaningful path forward.
I am passionate about supporting individuals, couples, and co-parents as they navigate both the pain of infertility and the excitement of family-building. Whether you have a modern, blended, or traditional family, I will meet you where you’re at and compassionately support you in your decision-making process. Feel free to reach out to me for a consult call.
