Hi there, I'm Emily!

Seeking fertility treatments and therapy is a brave act. I provide a safe, warm space for people conceiving with assistance to process emotions, weigh treatment decisions, grieve loss, and craft a new narrative about their conception story. Your story is beautiful. Reach out when you're ready.

My focus

I work primarily with individuals and couples conceiving with assistance, including those identifying as LGBTQIA+ and those considering or pursuing gamete donation. I offer psychoeducational consultations for gamete donation and gestational surrogacy, providing education and emotional support throughout your fertility journey.

My approach

My approach is present-focused. While acknowledging past experiences, we spend most time on present feelings with a focus on mindfulness and integrating thoughts, feelings, and actions cohesively. I help clients craft new narratives by exploring perspectives. Work is tailored and may include skill building and assertiveness training.
