Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW,LICSW, LISW-S, LISW
We have experience and specialized training in perinatal, prenatal, and infertility issues as well as adoption- and we are pleased to offer help around LGBTQIA+ specific issues as well.
I work with clients who struggle with Infertility or Adoption issues. During our sessions, we will collaborate to create a plan for addressing them that helps you resolve such issues in a meaningful manner to restore functioning enabling and empowering you to take the next steps that are best for you. I practice from a Holistic perspective and commonly employ EMDR and other effective modalities with helping clients achieve balance and purpose in their lives and creative solutions to their problems. This includes exploring past issues and trauma that may be a factor presently.
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.
Fertility journeys can be quite frustrating, especially as it gets extended and you are not finding success regardless of the path you take. There can be feelings of inadequacy and disappointment that your body is not responding as you would like. After failed attempts at IVF you might find yourself experiencing loss and grieving for the pregnancy that isn't happening. Women and couples often keep their experience to themselves putting on a brave face each day as their journey lingers on. I have worked with women using hypnotherapy to work through this grief and loss, and explore if past trauma or limiting beliefs in their subconscious is affecting their ability to conceive.
