Women’s Health
I have a special clinical interest in providing support to individuals who have interacted with the medical system around reproductive health issues
Health conditions such as endometriosis, PMDD, and PMOS/PCOS:
These issues can impact well-being in myriad ways, all are associated with increased risks of depression and anxiety. They also require interacting with the healthcare system in ways that are not always affirming or supportive. I have specific experience in working with clients in this.
Termination for Medical Reason (TFMR):
When pregnancies are terminated, generally at a later stage of pregnancy, for the health of the carrier or for the fetus there can be a significant complexity of emotional experience. I am happy to provide a warm, judgment-free space to explore this.
IVF and Infertility Support:
I have experience working with individuals who are moving into IVF and have concerns or fears about starting the process or are looking for support.
I am also well versed in supporting IVF veterans who have been through multiple retrievals and transfers without success. Often folks in this situation are dealing with significant grief and trauma and can benefit from EMDR therapy. This is a complex situation which requires attention and care without needing to explain the intricacies of exploring treatment outside of the mainstream and feeling isolated in pain.
Egg Freezing: This is a step many people take to preserve their fertility for later years. It’s an emotionally and physically taxing process for many and I have supported many down this path.
rIVF: reciprocal IVF is used by same-sex couples for family building. This involves the physical rigors of IVF but does not necessarily include the toll of infertility and loss. There is a dearth of resources and support around this.
