(In)Fertility

The bend in the road is not the end of the road, ​unless we fail to make the turn.  ​~ Helen Keller

You've had an idea about your journey to parenthood your whole life.  Struggling to have a baby was not what you imagined.  The loss of that narrative, the physical, emotional, and financial challenges of assisted reproductive procedures or adoption, and loss from IVF,  from adoption, and/or pregnancy loss - these are reproductive trauma. This journey has impacts on your physical, emotional, and financial health, your intimate relationship, and your relationship with others - whether family, friends, and even strangers.

Getting through this journey is hard, especially with the culturally-dominant norms around pregnancy and fertility that have everyone inquiring about your parental status - and can even have you doubting who you are. But know you are not alone and the journey to create your family is filled with possibility. 

I take a narrative approach to fertility counseling, enriched by my own life experiences with (in)fertility, IVF and adoption. I will work with you - individually or as a couple - to process your experience, understand your own coping skills and develop others, I'll share mindfulness and self-compassion techniques, and support you as you pursue your renewed options for parenthood.
