Life can be overwhelming at times. With change, decisions, loss, or pain, we can feel confused, scared, depressed, or just stuck. Finding hope and courage in life to face these stressors often times feels lonely and exhausting. Joining with you along this journey toward personal growth and change in the face of those life challenges is where I focus my work with clients. I see the therapeutic relationship as the most effective tool for increasing understanding of yourself, your relationships, and how to move toward what you desire in life. I strive to create a therapeutic space that feels safe and inviting of self reflection.

What if I told you that you could do talk therapy for years BUT if you don't address your MIND and BODY - not much will change? When we experience trauma, so does our body! In fact, our body is re-living the trauma long after the event is over. Our current physical, mental and emotional state are all clues, to what our body needs to process, to fully heal. Since our body remembers, it's important our body has a chance to process and feel safe again. Safety and comfort are the main principles to heal from all past trauma. Feeling safe again allows your mind and body to fully embrace healing.

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.
