Family Planning

My Approach & Process

I work with a lot of couples who are planning to have children. Family planning clients sometimes face infertility and need help navigating and coping with the challenges of IVF treatment. Sometimes, the challenges are more financial and relationship-oriented: clients are worried about the difficulty of raising children in New York City. With some clients, there’s a fear that they’ll have to sacrifice some degree of professional advancement when they become parents. And many couples want to work through the level of involvement they want from in-laws. I work with couples to openly discuss all of these challenges and concerns, from the practical to the deeply personal to the sexual. Having a child can be stressful and often brings up deep-seated emotions, fears, and anxieties that it can be helpful to work through with a professional.
