Individual & Couples Therapist

With a Focus on Infertility, Single Mothers by Choice & Postpartum Depression

Infertility & Pregnancy Loss

Infertility and the longing to be a parent can be incredibly isolating and heartbreaking. Friends may not understand. People make unhelpful comments. Pregnancy announcements feel painful. Your relationships are suffering. You may feel distracted, withdrawn, ashamed, resentful and uncertain. It is unfair and for many, an absolutely traumatic experience. Are you considering the use of a donor or surrogate and experiencing associated grief? Infertility is lonely but you do not have to go down this path alone. Therapy can help.

Single Mothers by Choice

Whether you are in the stages of contemplation, planning, conceiving, pregnancy, or postpartum, therapy can help you sort through the many emotions you’ll move through on this incredible ride. Going about parenthood with the assistance of a donor, while unpartnered, can feel thrilling and simultaneously daunting. It is normal to feel grief, excitement and fear (How do I tell my family? What will my coworkers think? Will I be alone forever?). I would be honored to support you along the way, as you navigate your own unique path toward motherhood.

Postpartum & Relationships

You dreamed of motherhood, now it is here and to put things mildly, it is overwhelming! The highs are high, even surreal, and the lows can feel exceptionally low. It is not uncommon to feel anxious, depressed and at times, even grieve your old life. It is okay if you’re not okay. Help is available. If you delivered after infertility or loss, past trauma may be unresolved. If you’re struggling to feel joy due to the relentlessness of parenthood, therapy can be helpful as you redefine your sense of self, your relationships and goals. I’m available for both individual and couples therapy.
