As an adoptive parent who went through infertility treatment many years ago, I’m particularly attuned to how this puts pressure on a couple. It can also be quite overwhelming and can cause people to feel like they are on a roller-coaster ride. Often couples need to come in for support together. Or one partner needs extra support.
Infertility may create a complicated pattern of grief, anxiety, depression, and trauma for couples. Therapy provides an avenue to find meaning-based coping strategies as well as to find ways to support and communicate your needs with your partner.
I provide emotional support, coping strategies, and guidance for clients like you who are navigating the complexities of fertility treatments and adoption. I help individuals and couples process the grief and loss associated with infertility, assist in exploring options such as surrogacy or donor conception, as well as emotionally coping with the adoption process.
