Fertility & Reproductive Challenges
Are you frustrated, feeling hopeless or alone?
Maybe you are feeling frustrated by the the endless questions and advice from your family and friends, or perhaps your relationship is suffering while sex has become a chore. You may be struggling to engage in your daily relationships and activities, or feeling alone in your struggle and grief. Perhaps you’re feeling betrayed by your body.
Whatever it is that you’re experiencing, you’re beginning to notice the impact of this in every facet of your life, feeling:
Anger and grief that this journey is not what you hoped or imagined.
Isolated by cultural shame and stigma around reproductive challenges and infertility.
Exhausted from the strain this process has put on your relationships.
Overwhelmed. Getting pregnant was supposed to be the easy part and now there are all these decisions to be made.
Reproductive Therapy can help.
It may feel impossible now, but you can feel love and gratitude for your body. You can let go of the shame and loneliness. You can bring joy and excitement back into your relationship. You can create a network of supportive people in your life who honor and respect your choices.
Reproductive Therapy helps you:
Create a judgment-free space to explore your experiences and feelings without stigma or shame.
Give yourself permission to feel and work through grief while still pursuing your goals.
Develop coping skills to strengthen your awareness and resilience in each step of the journey.
Learn tools to find peace and acceptance, no matter the outcome.
I’ll help through this process, tailoring each step to your unique needs and circumstances. My approach to therapy for reproductive challenges comes from a place of trust: believing you have the tools to create a community around you that sees and respects your journey.
You don’t have to live this time of your life feeling shame and alone. I can help you get there.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are reproductive therapy sessions like?
A: We will meet weekly for 50 minute video sessions. Our sessions will give us the opportunity to slow down and take a closer look at how and why you have come to hold certain beliefs around what’s happened, or how you are feeling. Every once in a while you might get to see a curious cat, but only if he is feeling camera ready.
Q: How do I know if reproductive therapy will work for me?
A: While there are no guarantees, we will explore your circumstances intentionally and at a pace you are comfortable with. We will examine your feelings and experiences, working collaboratively to develop the tools you need to be present and navigate your way through this rough terrain.
Q: How long do I need to be in therapy?
A: I believe you are the expert of your own life and know what’s best for you. I am just here to help guide you to find it. The short answer is everyone is different and their time in therapy differs for a variety of reasons.
Q: Should I see a therapist?
Choosing to see a therapist is a personal decision, but for me, I believe we could all use a person in our corner to help us detangle life’s emotional knots.
Q: What does a therapist do for me?
A: It isn’t what I do for you as much as what we will do together. I will guide you and bring an objective perspective, allowing you to feel safe and empowered to explore the things in your life that feel misaligned with what you want.
Q: What is Telehealth?
A: Telehealth is another word for remote or virtual sessions. I see all my clients remotely. If you would prefer to meet over the phone, that is also possible.
