Depression, anxiety, medical and behavioral problems, mood disorders, relationship issues, and infertility are some of the wide range of problems I encounter in my practice.
Taking the first step to engage in psychotherapy is often a struggle. I believe that it is my job to make this process as safe and comfortable as possible through a confidential and supportive therapeutic environment. I view each client as a unique individual with different experiences, strengths, and vulnerabilities. I tailor my therapeutic approach to fit the client's needs, symptoms and skills.

Life often throws curveballs. I work with everyday people experiencing rough patches in their lives and in their relationships. New situations, old patterns, feelings and behaviors can be worked on in a collaborative, guided and insightful way. As a psychologist, I help people with their images of themselves and assist clients in integrating new definitions of themselves. I work with adults who would benefit from therapy. I also work with singles and couples who are undergoing fertility challenges, providing therapy as well as third party consultations for those using donors and carriers.

If you are looking for a therapist who is a calm presence and can help you sort out your current life situation, you may have found the right person. I am someone who is "in the moment" with clients, attending to what they need now and eventually challenging them to look at past patterns of thoughts and behaviors to gain insight into making changes that will help them achieve their goals in life. This is done in collaboration with my clients and at a comfortable pace for them.

Our self-perception and interpersonal perspectives are intricately molded by our past experiences, with childhood and adolescence exerting significant influence on this developmental process. Ideally, individuals should emerge from these formative stages with a robust sense of confidence, a feeling of security, and proficient problem-solving abilities as they navigate the complexities of the world. However, the occurrence of traumatic experiences can disrupt these capacities. Instead of being firmly grounded in the present, our attention is diverted towards the shadows of past distress,

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.
