Why Infertility Therapy in with Me
Infertility is more than a medical diagnosis. It can affect your mental health, relationships, faith, and the way you see yourself. You deserve a therapist who understands the emotional weight of this journey. Having personal experience of walking through infertility, I understand how isolating and emotionally exhausting this journey can be- touches every part of life, your faith, relationships, identity, and hope.
My personal experience, combined with professional training, allows me to provide compassionate care for women navigating infertility and reproductive trauma. I understand that infertility can be an ongoing source of grief, stress, and emotional exhaustion. I draw from EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help you process difficult emotions, build resilience, and move toward healing.
If you choose to incorporate your Christian faith into counseling, I also offer faith-based counseling that honors your beliefs while providing clinically sound care.
I won't tell you to "just stay positive" or rush you to move on. Instead, I'll meet you where you are, help you make sense of what you're experiencing, and support you as you navigate grief, uncertainty, relationship challenges, and difficult decisions at a pace that feels right for you.
Whether you're trying to conceive naturally, navigating fertility treatments, coping with pregnancy loss, or facing an uncertain future, you don't have to carry this burden alone.
