Quest: (n) a long and challenging journey to find something of great value
Fertility Counseling Services:
Support for a tender season
Through an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and somatic-based lens, therapy focuses on learning how to relate differently to painful thoughts and emotions while gently reconnecting with the body in ways that promote safety and grounding. Clients learn skills to cope with anxiety, grief, and self-blame, clarify values, and make intentional choices even when outcomes feel out of control. This approach supports emotional resilience, self-compassion, and a steadier sense of self throughout the fertility journey.
Individual therapy for fertility struggles provides a compassionate space to talk openly about the emotions that often come with trying to conceive—grief, anxiety, frustration, and hope. Using a values-based and body-centered approach, therapy helps you learn how to sit with difficult feelings without being overwhelmed by them, while also reconnecting with your body in a supportive, grounding way. Together, we focus on coping with uncertainty, easing self-blame, and identifying what matters most to you during this season. The goal is to help you feel more steady, supported, and connected to yourself as you move through your fertility journey.
Individual Counseling
Couples therapy for fertility challenges offers a supportive space to navigate the emotional strain this journey can place on your relationship. Fertility struggles can impact communication, intimacy, and the way each partner experiences grief, hope, and uncertainty—often in very different ways. In therapy, couples learn how to better understand one another, communicate with more compassion, and stay connected even during stress and disappointment. Together, we focus on strengthening your partnership, honoring each person’s experience, and finding ways to move forward as a team through this season
Couples Counseling
Group therapy can be especially powerful for individuals struggling with fertility because it offers something many people deeply miss during this journey: not being alone in it. Fertility challenges are often isolating, and group therapy creates a space where experiences that feel invisible or misunderstood are met with recognition and compassion. Hearing others name fears, grief, anger, or hope that mirrors your own can reduce shame and foster a sense of belonging.

Navigating Fertility is daunting…
Growing from my personal experience with infertility, I am passionate about helping individuals and couples feel seen and heard on their fertility journey. Conception is often discussed as if it is a given and everyone can conceive easily. However, many of us find out the hard way, often later in life, that our road is not paved in stone, but will require us to traverse the rocky and lonely terrain of monitoring cycles, treating issues that hinder conception, and going down the rabbit hole of fertility treatments. I want clients to feel supported through the process, whether they choose to keep their journey private, or share with loved ones. Whether treatment results in recurrent unsuccessful cycles, pregnancy, loss or birth of a child, or the decision to end the journey, everyone needs a place to feel held. You don’t need to be pressured with positivity or well-meant, but unhelpful, advice from friends and family who don’t understand the nuances of infertility. My training is founded in trauma-informed care, and I am currently progressing through advanced training in Fertility Counseling as well as Perinatal Mental Health.
I will walk with you through fertility treatments and beyond… to what comes next.
Pregnancy and Postpartum after infertility is often not how what we expect….
Pregnancy and postpartum after fertility treatment can feel bittersweet in ways that are hard to put into words. After so much waiting, hoping, loss, and endurance, these moments are often imagined as purely joyful—but the reality can be far more complex. Alongside gratitude and love, there may be fear, grief for what was lost, anxiety about what could go wrong, or a quiet sense of numbness that feels confusing or even isolating. Many parents wonder why they’re struggling when this is something they wanted so deeply. The truth is, joy and pain can exist side by side. Struggling does not mean you are ungrateful or failing—it means you are human, carrying the weight of everything it took to get here.
The newborn period after fertility treatment can bring its own unique emotional challenges. Sleep deprivation, hormonal shifts, and the intensity of caring for a fragile new life often collide with lingering fear and hypervigilance shaped by infertility or pregnancy loss. Some parents feel pressure to finally feel “complete,” while others struggle to bond, relax, or trust their bodies and instincts. Moments that were once imagined as magical can feel overwhelming, lonely, or emotionally heavy. These struggles don’t erase the love you feel for your baby—they reflect the depth of the journey that led you here and the nervous system’s need for safety after prolonged stress.
Support during this time isn’t about fixing or rushing past these feelings. It’s about creating space to gently process the full story—honoring both the joy of new life and the grief, fear, and exhaustion that may still be present. Healing happens when you’re allowed to be held in all of it.
