As someone who has made a family through both fertility treatments and starting the adoption process, I intimately understand the complicated emotions that accompany these experiences. As a therapist, I love being able to provide a space for others who are at various points in this journey to process the complex thoughts and emotions that are coming up for them as well.
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.
Couples who face infertility can often struggle in their relationships. Infertility and miscarriage can also cause a crisis of faith because people question why God allows it. I can help couples process their loss, pain, and issues related to their faith.
Over the years I have seen families who are undergoing In Vitro Fertilization, a treatment for
Infertility. I am aware of the challenges that this process involves for the participants.
In addition, I have seen families who are considering adopting a child. Also, I have done evaluations for parents who are adopting children, and I have seen some of the pitfalls that this process can involve. I offer free zoom seminars, which promote stress reduction, and also of relationships with family members. Please feel free to call me for a consultation: 301-229-8000
Do you feel that your life is not going the way you want? Are your relationships characterized by ongoing conflict or distance? Do you feel anxious most of the time ? If it is time for you to make changes, I can teach you skills you need to do so.

Due to my personal experience with pregnancy loss and my subsequent healing journey, I have been working with woman and couples to help heal this pain, in addition to the pain and grief of infertility.
