Support for Reproductive Concerns
You Are Not Alone!
Are you experiencing a reproductive issue (like infertility, pregnancy, postpartum adjustment, pregnancy loss, parenting challenges) that is affecting you emotionally? Are you trying to be strong on the outside, but inside you feel like you are falling apart? Maybe you are pregnant or had a baby recently and just don't feel like yourself? Or getting pregnant is harder than you expected it to be? Have you tried talking to family or friends but no one understands? I understand. You don't have to do this alone any more. Working together, we will help you feel better. There is hope.

I have helped women work through these issues for over a decade. Together, we will help you feel strong and healthy, understand your thoughts and feelings, and communicate your needs to others. We will identify and utilize your strengths, and work toward finding creative solutions to achieving your ideal family.

I view myself as a beacon on your journey. I believe you are the expert on your life. I will contribute my observations and ideas, while remaining true to your values and needs. I use warmth and humor in my work. Call or email me and let's get started!
