Therapy for Infertility
The infertility journey is hard - but you don’t have to do it alone.We can face it head-on, as a team.
Infertility impacts roughly 15% of couples. The road to discovering you are infertile is often painful and isolating. Couples going through infertility can feel a tremendous sense of grief and hopelessness. Individuals dealing with infertility feel like no one understands, and comments from friends and family can be unintentionally hurtful.
You may be thinking:
‘I feel like everyone around me has gotten pregnant so easily. No one understands and people can make some really hurtful comments. I feel so alone.’
‘We’re drowning in debt from our fertility treatments. I cried to my husband the other day about being worried we might have to declare bankruptcy.’
‘I don’t understand why I’m doing everything right and my body still can’t get pregnant. I don’t feel like I can trust my body.’
‘I’m starting to feel hopeless because we’ve been through so many cycles. What will happen if we run out of money and options?’
‘I feel like I have no control over how we start a family. I’ve had to take FMLA just to go get tests and have procedures done - people are starting to wonder why we keep going to the doctor.’
Navigating IVF and Infertility: You Don’t Have to Do This Alone
Going through infertility and IVF is often far more than just a medical process—it’s a deeply emotional and relational journey that can touch every part of your life. Many of my clients describe feeling overwhelmed, isolated, or misunderstood—even by the people who care about them most. Those feelings are normal and valid. People can be well-intentioned, but still not understand. You deserve to have a space of support and emotional guidance to lean on through this process, especially from someone who understands the journey.
I provide a space that’s free of judgment, shame, or blame. It’s important when going through fertility treatments to know that whatever happens in this journey, this journey is yours and yours alone. Your feelings are valid and, in many cases, shared by others who’ve walked the same path. We can work together to make sure you’re supported with care and compassion in whatever decisions you must face.
Whether you’re newly beginning your journey, deep into IVF cycles, grieving a loss, or making incredibly complex medical and emotional decisions, therapy offers a compassionate place to land and process what this means for you.
Common issues I support clients and couples through include:
-
Waiting, disappointment, and fear of the unknown.
-
Not knowing how to talk it out.
-
How communication, connection, and intimacy often shift under pressure.
-
From repeated procedures, hormone treatments, and invasive testing.
-
Due to treatment protocols.
-
Especially when outcomes remain out of your control.
-
Whether to continue, when to stop, how to pursue next steps.
-
Leading to disconnection or emotional shutdown.
-
And how to handle them.
-
Support around the emotional toll of selective reduction or abortion due to medical risks, high-order multiples, or genetic abnormalities.
-
Space to process complex emotions—grief, relief, shame, or confusion—following abortion, regardless of the reason or timing.
-
And the medical and emotional risks involved.
-
Especially when struggling with what was once assumed to be “natural”.
-
From friends, family, or even medical providers.
-
Of “what should have been”.
-
The heavy logistical and emotional burden of navigating infertility and IVF on top of demanding shift work, public service, and a culture that doesn’t always make space for vulnerability.
