You're trying to conceive your first or second, third or fourth child. 

It’s devastating to want something so much and not know how to make it happen. It can feel overwhelming to find the right treatment, the right doctor... You are open to everything and anyone who might help you become a mother. You’re consulting with reproductive specialists from Western medicine to Eastern, adoption agencies and surrogates; Facebook groups and chat rooms are your home away from home.

One in eight couples have difficulty getting pregnant or sustaining a pregnancy. It can feel lonely and scary and sometimes you just can’t bring yourself to pick up the phone and call your mother or sister or best friend one more time. You worry that they’re all tired of hearing what’s next, what you’re reading or thinking or planning to do this time. The next time. Or, it’s just not your style to talk to your friends and family. You feel shy or embarrassed and you don’t want anyone to know that life isn’t perfect. Life isn't perfect.

You are not alone

Sometimes talking with a professional is easier. Someone to listen and someone to help process all these feelings. Feelings that are constantly evolving day by day and sometimes minute by minute. 

I can help (take a deep breath). I can help you to organize your thoughts, your plans, ideas and overall - explore your emotions as you navigate this tricky road you never imagined traveling on. I get where you are and I’m here to walk beside you as you figure out your next steps, and build the life you’ve always planned for.

Intended Parent Consultations

Intended parents are encouraged by their doctor and the American Society of Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) to attend counseling prior to an egg or sperm donation procedure. Counseling includes the exploration of complex social issues and feelings that may be hard to voice. This counseling session is a place to discuss your concerns, and is not a test you must pass. .

Intended parent consultations are 60 - 90 minutes and cover topics recommended by the ASRM. A brief report for your physician or clinic is included in the fee.
