Summary
As a clinician in private practice for over 25 years, it has been my privilege to work with hundreds of men and women on their reproductive journeys. I became a psychologist after surviving my own fertility issues. There was so little support and understanding at that time; I felt like I could make a difference and help others through their trauma.
