Infertility Counseling

I “know the language” of fertility treatments and try to stay up-to-date as best as possible about new options, so that you don’t have to spend your entire session explaining acronyms, tests, or procedures to me.  I provide resources, if desired, but mostly work with you to help reduce the feelings of isolation, grief, and loss that comes from these medical interventions, as well as the reasons that made you seek them out in the first place.  I encourage self-advocacy and validation to ensure you have the information and the calm you seek. 

Fertility treatments and/or repeated loss can impact both parents (not just the birthing person) and can take a toll on one’s relationship, including processing diagnoses, managing the stress of the treatments, and how to maintain a connection during such a time of struggle.  I offer a judgement-free space to discuss these concerns in a way that feels like comfort, rather than contention. 

In full disclosure, I am the mother of one daughter, a toddler. After undergoing years of preconception and multiple medical interventions, while struggling to keep a balance between who I was and what I wanted for my future, I knew I wanted to support clients going through this difficult time.
