Infertility

In my own struggles with infertility I have come to a deep understanding of both the physical and mental strain it places on ones body and mind. Each journey is different and as such, should be treated as unique as the individuals who experience trials of infertility.

Understanding infertility interventions and solutions; support during decision-making processes; coping with fertility problems and pregnancy loss

With over a Decade of Specialty in Infertility Treatment, I have gained a seasoned expertise in treating women and couples burdened by the highly distressing impact of this condition. I bring my extensive training and specialized practice to our collaborative process and use an array of integrative methods to support Individuals and their partners through this journey. I support women and couples navigating fertility challenges, pregnancy loss & alternative family-building options.

Dealing with infertility - struggling to get and/or stay pregnant - is a life crisis. What we expected to be a joyful part of life becomes a series of losses which can leave us feeling intense grief, helplessness, anxiety, isolation, and envy. I can help you process these experiences, review different treatment options, talk you through considering the use of a donor and/or a gestational carrier, and even evaluate donors/GC's. You don't have to cope with this alone.

Struggling with infertility can be a deeply emotional and isolating experience. Whether you're facing difficulties conceiving, undergoing fertility treatments, or coping with pregnancy loss, know that you're not alone. I am here to walk alongside you, offering support, validation, and practical strategies to help you navigate this complex and often overwhelming journey. My approach to infertility counseling is grounded in empathy, understanding, and evidence-based techniques.

Struggling with the uncertainties of an infertility experience can be one of life's most painful experiences. I have additional training in supporting women through this journey and acknowledging the deep grief and loss that can exist.

I provide supportive, compassionate care for individuals experiencing infertility or struggling on their journey to becoming a parent. Infertility can be an incredibly isolating experience and having a therapist who understands the emotional and social challenges of navigating this journey can help the process feel a little more manageable.

Infertility impacts 6.1 million couples in the United States or close to 1 in 6 couples. You may feel very isolated and alone during this time but literally millions of other couples are or have been in a similar position as you. Infertility is devastating and often is accompanied by pregnancy losses or a stillbirth experience. Infertility takes many couples on an emotional roller coaster while trying to start or grow a family.

I help clients with fertility struggles and loss at different stages of pregnancy.

We understand that fertility treatments and fertility struggles often stir up anxiety and depression in many individuals. Treatment is complicated by the psychological effects from the medications, hormones, stressors and implications of treatments. Our practice is able to meet you exactly where you are during their fertility journey and we understand the need for emotional support through an often very strenuous process, both physically and emotionally.

The grueling process of trying to conceive takes its toll when even hope can hurt. The loss of a pregnancy, infant, or child can bring feelings of pain, grief, and isolation. I am trained in perinatal mood & anxiety disorders and would be honored to support you during this experience.

Our providers at Vayda MH have unique experience (both personal and professional in many cases) and expertise to support those with difficult journeys to parenthood. Whether impacted by infertility and the complexities and stress of treatment (e.g., meds, IUI, IVF), third party reproduction (donor gametes, surrogacy), pregnancy or perinatal concerns, birth trauma, or pregnancy/infant loss... you are NOT alone in your suffering. We will walk this painful path along with you!

I specialize in helping couples open up with each other as they navigate an infertility diagnosis, and any treatments they may choose to pursue, so that they may grow closer together in the face of this challenge rather than further apart. I have both personal and professional experience with couples struggling with infertility, and I am very familiar with assisted reproductive technology terms and procedures.

You do not need to walk your difficult journey to parenthood alone. Whether impacted by infertility and its treatment (meds, IUI, IVF), use of third party reproduction (donor eggs/sperm/embryos or surrogacy), or deciding to grow your family via adoption or choosing to live child-free... we will join you. We have providers specialized in birth trauma, pregnancy and infant loss and stillbirth, and perinatal mood/anxiety/OCD/trauma disorders. We use an attachment and feminists' approach!

I provide supportive, compassionate care for individuals experiencing infertility or struggling on their journey to becoming a parent.
