Starting October 8, 2025, this 50 minute virtual group will run for 6 weeks from 12:00-1:00 pm, focusing on connecting, supporting, and learning new ways to cope with the stress & anxiety of infertility treatments. As someone who had to do IVF, I get it. It can be a lonely & unbelievably stressful process. This group will have a maximum of 10 participants & be closed (no one can join mid way through). Cost is $15 - pay as you go (if you miss a group, you won't have to pay for it). We will need a minimum of 8 participants to run this group. Please contact me for more information. Note: A pre-group interview is required as it helps me to create a safe and cohesive group environment for everyone involved. This is also a chance for us to get to know each other & prepare you for what to expect.

*I am a member of ASRM. If you would like additional resources on infertility, please look here.

For many people, there is still a stigma to seeing a psychologist or therapist. If you seek therapy, it suggests there is something wrong with you or you’re crazy. In fact, the opposite is true. Therapy provides clients an opportunity to talk about (& potentially resolve) their problems with someone who is objective. Ideally, clients have a goal when they come into treatment (e.g., reduce anxiety or depression levels, improve relationships, change behaviors, get “unstuck,” etc.) and therapy helps one to achieve those goals. It takes courage and strength to see someone.

Licensed mental health clinicians are all trained in evidenced-based psychotherapies that have undergone years of randomized control trials. These trials have been published in journals proving that certain modalities have validity, efficacy, and effectiveness to reduce levels of depression, anxiety, trauma symptoms, and more.

Medical doctors go through years of medical school to learn about the body, illnesses, and remedies, and mental health clinicians do the same.

There isn’t one therapy that is the “best.” Here is some info (not exhaustive) that may be helpful for you to decide what therapy you want to do:

• Reducing anxiety & depression:

  • Acceptance & Commitment Therapy. Read more about ACT here.

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Read more about CBT here.

• Reducing trauma symptoms

  • Cognitive Processing Therapy. Read more about CPT here.

  • Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing therapy. Learn more about EMDR here.

If you are struggling in an area that isn’t listed above, you can search for the issue and “evidenced based treatments” to find what therapy may be the best.

This can be an exhausting process. There are a few ways you can find a therapist:

• Search on Psychology Today and use filters based on location, gender, orientation, insurance type, and clinical specialty.

• Look at your health insurance website.

• Receive a referral from your medical provider.

• Additional therapy search websites: Zocdoc, Sondermind, Headway, & Therapy Den.

There is research demonstrating that a positive relationship (also called “alliance” or “fit”) between a client and the therapist can improve health outcomes (for adults and teens).

As a client, you need to feel comfortable with the clinician. Before you book an appointment, see if the therapist will offer a 15 minute consultation call (this will give you a good sense of their personality). Try 2-3 sessions and if, after session #3, you do not feel comfortable, ask yourself “why?” Is it the clinician’s personality? Their treatment modality? Is the source of the discomfort something that can be fixed? If not, it may be time to try someone else.

Most importantly, don’t give up on therapy! Clinicians are different with unique personalities, strengths, skills sets, and growth edges. Try another therapist!

You can read more about the type of therapy I offer in the “About Me” section or under the “FAQ” section (What are you trained in?) I provide individual therapy, virtually or in person. My favorite therapy is ACT but I am integrative and flexible. We will work together to identify what you need.

I’ve had the pleasure of working in medical environments since 2017. I started my career in a Chronic Pain Clinic and then in 2018 began working for an FQHC primary care clinic in the Denver-metro area. In 2023, I worked in a primary care clinic at the VA and in 2024, I worked for a major hospital system in Denver. I’ve been all over!

Providers sought mental health support and were able to see me as long as we worked in different clinics & had no personal or professional relationships (to avoid dual roles).

I understand the challenges of being a medical provider. If you are struggling because of your work load (including management), traumatic patients/patient experiences, death, navigating challenging relationships, perfectionism, anxiety, depression, or are experiencing postpartum mental health- I can help and know that you are not alone.

Specialty areas include ADHD, anxiety, phobias, depression, relationships, medical diagnoses, weight management, stress management, work burn out, feeling stuck, and finding life purpose.

I have a lot of experience working with folks struggling with medical conditions (including tinnitus, diabetes, & cancer). I also spent time on an OB-GYN floor and trained with Postpartum Support International (PSI) on perinatal mental health. I have a special place in my heart for families struggling with infertility, pregnancy loss, perinatal/postpartum mental health conditions, identity changes, and relationship struggles.
