& mind/Body therapies

Infertility creates stress that can impact every aspect of life. Self esteem, sense of optimism and control, relationships with friends and family, finances, careers, and even leisure time activities can all be affected. In working with infertility it is important to be flexible and to find ways to address multiple needs and issues.

I offer traditional and mind/body approaches to help you move through the infertility experience as easily as possible. I work with individuals and couples as well as groups.
