Family-Building and Infertility
Starting a family may be overwhelming. Both partners may feel conflicted about the loss of freedom or the un-knows. I am here to coach you through this process. I will help you get on the same page with your values, communication and vision for your family so the transition into being parents is as smooth as possible.
For some of you I imagine your decision to start a family never included the word “infertility”. Any diagnosis of infertility can be shocking and disorienting. Infertility comes with many emotions; hope, shock, loss, stress, frustration, anger etc. It can be very isolating and affect our social patterns. I too have had these experiences and I want you to know you are not alone.
The needs of a couple going through infertility are unique and comprehensive so consider me more like your infertility coach rather than just a therapist. I am here to listen, while offering information and resources to help you make the reproductive decisions that are right for you and your family. I am knowledgable about all of the medical procedures associated with ART, Adoption etc. so I can help coach you through this journey and find your unique path to parenthood.
