FOCUS ON FAMILY FORMING JOURNEYS

Often we make the assumption that a family planning journey will be relatively straight forward or easy, but that is not the case for many families and this assumption can further isolate those struggling to build their families. Infertility or pregnancy loss not only affects individuals physically, but also has a profound impact on their emotions and sense of self. Experiencing the inability to conceive when desired can lead to feelings of anger, frustration, and sadness. The constant cycle of hope and disappointment might leave individuals feeling numb, while the societal pressures and expectations add another layer of emotional stress. When dealing with infertility, grief becomes a frequent companion, which can cloud daily life. This can translate into a type of grief that's unique to the infertility experience.

People may experience:

• Deep sorrow over the inability to conceive

• Frustration from medical interventions and treatments that may not yield desired results

• Pressure from self-imposed timelines and societal expectations

• Isolation from friends or family who are unable to fully understand the depth of the experience

Navigating life transitions like pregnancy, loss, infertility, birth trauma, TFMR and postpartum can feel deeply isolating—but you don’t have to face them alone. Therapy offers hope and healing. A supportive therapeutic relationship can serve as a guiding light through emotional turbulence, helping individuals and couples process their experiences and regain a sense of control. Therapy can provide useful tools and insights, helping you work through these emotions in a paced, manageable manner. This healing process is not linear, but with support, it becomes a journey of healing.

Your infertility story does not define you. Instead, it opens a door to better understanding yourself. As a reproductive psychologist, I walk alongside you, honoring your story and the truth that you are the expert of your experience. This process lays the groundwork for healing that is not only powerful but deeply personal.

I offer a safe, compassionate space where we can build a meaningful connection—one where even the “scary thoughts” are welcome. Together, we create room for healing in all its complexity and humanness. I offer a down to earth, personalized approach—working together to find what supports you best. I aim to hold space for your experience with compassion. Through care and connection, healing is possible.  With time, guidance, and support, you can begin to rediscover who you are and uncover new sources of strength. I’m here when you’re ready.
