I hear this one A LOT! My approach is fundementally different from the vast majority of counseling out there. Most of my clients say my appoach is much more like coaching. You will get the empathy and support you need while also gaining skills, tools and critical knowledge about the specific phase of family-building you are in. Clients who put my method to work in their lives report immediate and sustainable relief, EVEN WHEN the challenges increase or things don't pan out the way you thought they would with trying to conceive, pregnancy or giving birth.

High-achieving women tend to overthink and over-research EVERY SINGLE aspect of the family-building journey because they have historically achieved success through persistence, problem-solving and education. This is often the first time these approaches have not only been unhelpful in meeting their goals but made their experience that much more difficult to navigate emotionally.

I understand! I had the same experience myself! Which is what led me to use a combination of my own experiences, specialty training and evidence-base practices to create a model that actually works for driven women. My approach provides tools and techniques to manage stress, balance professional and personal challenges, and ensure you don’t feel isolated during infertility and each phase of the family-building journey.

Absolutely. Infertility can strain relationships with partners, family, and friends.

I teach methods to navigate the awkward and sometimes harmful conversations you have to navigate with family, friends and even strangers about you family-building journey. I can also help you to manage the triggers of pregnancy announcements, baby shower invites, and even just being seated at a restaurant next to a pregnant woman or new baby.

As a couples counselor, I strategically incorporate partners (or other support people) into our work together in each phase. This makes sure that you not only have adequate support for everything you are going through but allows the opportunity to deepen your relationships and build up the foundation of your marriage. Couples work helps you improve communication, rebuild intimacy, and navigate the emotional challenges as a team in lock-step!

No. I work with a lot of women facing secondary infertility (difficulty conceiving after already having a child) or reeling from pregnancy loss or TFMR. I also support those with high-risk pregnancies, pre-term babies, NICU stays, birth trauma and postpartum depression/anxiety.

During your initial session, we’ll explore your fertility journey, understand your emotional and mental health needs, and begin building a personalized plan to address your unique challenges.

Infertility counseling is specifically focused on the emotional and mental toll of trying to conceive. You won't have to spend each session teaching me about fertility treatment or medical conditions or the unique ways in which this journey has taken over your life. I get it! And I can show you how to navigate these specific challenges differently so you can get your life back without giving up on starting a family.

You will leave each session with a new tool or method to put into practice in your daily life that will help you get your life back and feel like yourself again. AND, you have the option of signing up for clinical coaching which provide continuous text-based support to apply those tools in real time.

I also provide support groups for each phase of your fertility journey, connecting you with others in the same exact stage. We meet 1-2x/ month and then you have access to an exclusive online community to support each other outside of session with facilitated chats rather than posting into the abyss of huge social media platforms like facebook or reddit.

Yes, everything shared during counseling sessions remains completely confidential, allowing you to open up freely about your personal and emotional struggles. Therapy groups also follow all the confidentiality standards of mental health care.

Yes, we provide emotional support for women with at-risk pregnancies, helping them manage the unique challenges and fears associated with this diagnosis. I also support people after losses or TFMR and navigate difficult births or birthing outcomes.

The length of counseling varies based on your individual needs, but most women find consistent support throughout their fertility journey to be helpful — from pre-conception to postpartum (if applicable).

Most of my clients get some level of reimbursement from their insurance company by submitting a claim using something called a “superbill”.

These detailed invoices have everything on it you need to submit an “out of network” claim.

You can even use a service that will submit these claims and do all the work of getting it processed for you.
