LICENSED CLINICAL SOCIAL WORKER
Intended Parent Psychoeducational Consults
If you and your family are requiring the use of donor sperm, donor egg, donor embryo, or use of gestational carrier, your fertility clinic will likely require a psychoeducational consultation to discuss the relevant issues and emotions that come up in using this type of ART (Assisted Reproductive Technology). I am able to provide these consultations to you and your family, and will coordinate with your clinic to communicate the results of the consult to them.
I try to make room for these as quickly a possible given the time sensitive nature of fertility clinics, so reach out to me and I will make every effort to accommodate you as soon as possible.
Infertility Support & Counseling
Providing Support during one of life's greatest challenges
As a woman who experienced infertility herself, I can personally understand the challenging journey that infertility treatment can be. In addition, there continues to be significant stigma surrounding infertility, causing many women to struggle silently without knowing where to receive support. My approach with working with women and their partners who are going through infertility is to create space to process the myriad losses that come along with infertility, to help support them in making the best choices for themselves and for their families, and to listen as someone who speaks the language of infertility, a language no woman willingly learned.
If you or someone you know is struggling with this process, please encourage them to reach out for support. In addition, to therapy, the following online community can be an incredible haven for women going through this process:
