Being able to build a family by having children is a beautiful expression of a couple’s love. Men and women alike think about family joy as young people. What couples do not anticipate is that conception can at times be traumatic and difficult. Dealing with issues of infertility can be devastating for a couple. Aside from the medical implications, there is a great deal of mental health upheaval that can result from the pain. Questions that are well meaning, such as, “Do you have any children,” can catapult a couple into feeling stigmatized and lead to depression. As a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist that began this career specializing in home studies for adoption due to infertility issues, I would love to help. Couples spend a great deal of time focusing on trying to successfully conceive a baby and not on building the love affair that they once were cherishing. This adds to the grief and despair of the couple desperately in need of becoming parents. Let me help you understand how to thrive as a couple while you await the miracle of a child and nurture the love that is invaluable between a couple in the “now” stage of life. Reach out to me today.
