CBT for Fertility and Perinatal Mental Health
Navigating fertility issues can be incredibly isolating, upsetting, and stressful. I work very closely with my clients to ensure that they have a supportive space to work through the complexity of navigating fertility and family planning related decisions, medically and personally. Decision making around IVF, egg donor, sperm donor, surrogate, and adoption each have their own set of considerations, and I am passionate about helping families make decisions that truly align with their values and preferences.
I also support my clients through pregnancy and postpartum journeys, focusing on coping with the changes that happen physically and emotionally during these vulnerable times. Having a solid support system and coping skills to navigate this emotionally intense experience is vital. Pregnancy and postpartum periods can also increase vulnerability for experiencing Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADs), which can include depression, anxiety, or OCD during and after pregnancy. With advanced training from Postpartum Support International, I have the knowledge and clinical experience to help you get relief from your symptoms and feel better quicker!
