As a former infertility "patient" Beth understands first hand the despair that often accompanies the struggle to fulfill one's most natural biological desire - having a child. She has experienced the cycle of loss and hope that infertility brings. Beth understands that we live in a world where there are constant reminders of pregnancy, children, and parenthood. She will help you navigate how to deal with friends, family and co-workers during this challenging and delicate time.
Beth has deep empathy for the grief, isolation, despair, lows and highs that infertility often brings. She is committed to meet you exactly where you are in your journey toward parenthood. With an empathic, warm, and gentle approach, Beth can assist with regeneration of positive feelings and hope.
Beth has experience with helping you explore your many and varied options to becoming a parent. Whether you're just starting out or are facing your next decision set, Beth can help you navigate natural and assisted conception including issues such as failed cycles, male factor, miscarriage, secondary infertility, relationship issues, chronic illness and infertility, endometriosis, PCOS, premature ovarian failure, IUI's, egg donation, third party reproduction, biological ties, surrogacy, adoption (both domestic and international), exploration of living without children, when to begin treatment, when to stop treatment, when to switch doctors and the basic coping skills around infertility.
Beth is passionate about encouraging and helping people to identify and reduce the choices that take them further from what they want and deserve. She is committed to empowering people to make choices that move them closer to living the life they want.
Beth offers individual and couple's psychotherapy. She facilitates many infertility groups and offers short-term infertility coaching where she can assist in setting goals, navigating treatment and prioritizing next steps.
