No two infertility journeys look the same, and what you need from support often changes along the way. I work with individuals and couples at every stage, whether you’ve just started trying or have been in treatment for years. Some of the areas where people often benefit from specific support include:
Trying to conceive for the first time can bring a grief that friends and family don’t always understand. Therapy gives you space to work through what you’re feeling while you make treatment decisions and find ways to sustain yourself through the process.
With secondary infertility, gratitude for the child you have sits alongside grief for the sibling who hasn’t arrived. Both feelings are real. Therapy offers room to hold them together, without having to choose one over the other.
Miscarriage, stillbirth, and other pregnancy losses deserve to be grieved, no matter how early they occur. Termination for medical reasons (TFMR), the decision to end a wanted pregnancy, brings its own layered grief, often made harder by the silence around it. Whatever your loss, therapy offers a judgment-free place to mourn, make sense of what happened, and heal at your own pace.
Navigating infertility can strain even strong partnerships. Couples therapy can help partners communicate more openly and learn how to best support one another especially when you have different ways of coping with stress and grief.
Husbands and other partners often carry their own grief, fear, and sense of helplessness, but most support is built around the person going through treatment. Many partners end up keeping their struggles to themselves. Therapy, on its own or alongside couples work, gives them a place to be supported too.
As your path shifts, new questions might come up. If you’re considering donor conception, surrogacy, adoption, or a child-free life, I’ll help you explore each option in a way that fits your values.
