Women's lives are so complex - balancing career, relationships, and trying to get healthy or stay healthy - do you need help figuring out how to make it all work? 

What's the problem? 

Everything was going well in your life, and it seemed like a great time to start a family.  You envisioned yourself picking out baby clothes, scheduling play dates with other moms, and enjoying a new dimension in your relationhip.

You knew what you wanted, and how to get it.  You got rid of your birth control, started trying to get pregnant - and then couldn't.  All of a sudden, having a baby became a project, and not a loving experience. 

Assisted reproductive technology can be a miracle sometimes - but it can also be scary, time-consuming, and raise questions you don't know how to answer - questions about your relationship, your body, your identity as a woman, and all sorts of other things.

How do I know I need infertility counseling?

When infertility assessment, testing, and procedures - or failures - are putting a strain on your relationship, it's time to seek couples counseling.  I'll help you re-establish a loving and supportive connection that supports you in your fertility journey.   Just because creating a family is difficult doesn't mean it has to drive you apart.

And if you're focused on single motherhood, or just need time to discuss matters separate from your partner, individual counseling will provide you with the support you need to make the right decisions.

If you're feeling cranky, irritable, tearful, sad, angry, depressed, frustrted, or overwhelmed - it's time for infertility counseling.

How do I know you're skilled at working with infertility?

• I adhere to the standards of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM).   I'm also a professional member of RESOLVE, and and contributor to the RESOLVE magazine.  I recommend both organizations.
• I have specialized training in mind/body work, guided visualization, meditation, and hypnotherapy, all of which promote stress reduction.  Less stress is commonly believed to lead to increased fertility.
• In addition to being a professional, I'm an infertility patient myself.  I am intimitely familiar with the experience of infertility.
