I provide a range of services within my areas of expertise to:
- Clients: Therapy and counseling is available for individuals and couples as one-on-one consultations, as well as group therapy.
- Fertility Clinics & Organizations: I provide psychological testing during the donor screen process for clinics, including Cryobank, and offer counseling to donors at all stages of the experience. I also conduct group therapy and workshops within my own practice and for complementary practices and organizations. I volunteer with the "Give an Hour" initiative.
- Event Organizers: I'm available to participate as a speaker, panelist and moderator for both industry events and those designed for the public. Topics can range from wellbeing, personal development and relationships, to the donor experience, IVF, and family-building.
- Media: I'm available for commentary and original content for written, audio, and video platforms. See BLOG & MEDIA for more.
