FERTILITY SUPPORT FOR WOMEN & COUPLES
I am uniquely equipped to help women walk through the journey of infertility since my personal story includes experience with infertility. I understand the emotional turmoil and stress on the body that infertility causes individually, as well as the life-changing impact it has on couples.
Infertility and barriers related to starting a family impact people from all social and cultural intersections of race, religion, gender, and sexuality. I provide a range of services to help individuals and couples struggling with infertility, third-party reproduction, adoption, and child-free couples.
I understand that while some may be working towards the goal of conceiving and starting a family, others may be seeking assistance to process losses related to infertility or help to come to terms with the fertility journey ending.
