I spent more than 20 years researching, writing, and counseling others about the whole range of fertility-related issues that are sometimes lumped together and called "infertility." From those experiences, I have developed a perspective that is highly sensitive to the entire continuum of reproductive mental health, from pre-menarche to menopause, and with all genders. My viewpoint is tuned in to the impact of a person's reproductive system and status on their emotional and mental well-being -- and not just when they're trying to conceive.
