I created this 6-week online infertility support group for women over 35 because sometimes you need more than someone telling you to “stay positive.”

You need a place where you can say:
“I’m tired.”
“I’m scared.”
“How long?”
“This treatment costs too much.”
“I’m unsure of my medical team”
“I don’t know if infertility treatment is for me”
“I need to talk to people who actually understand this.”

That’s the space I want us to create together.
* Online
• Small, confidential group
• 30 per session
Facilitated by me, a licensed mental health therapist
specializing in perinatal & infertility mental health.
If this sounds like something you’ve been looking for, registration is open through the link in my bio or QR code.
And even if you’re not looking for a group right now, share this with a woman who may need this kind of support.
If you feel comfortable sharing: What’s one thing you
wish people understood about infertility?

Infertility treatment can feel like constantly being asked to make life-changing decisions while having very little control over what happens next. Plans change. Timelines shift. Treatment options evolve. And sometimes, just when you think you know what comes next, you’re faced with another decision.

One appointment becomes another test.
One treatment plan becomes a different treatment plan.
One timeline gets pushed back.
And sometimes you’re trying to decide what to do next while still grieving what just happened.

And when you’re navigating infertility over 35, there can be an added layer of pressure around time, age, finances, relationships, and figuring out how long you’re willing—or able—to keep going.

That’s a lot to carry. 🧡

TW: pregnancy announcement. This journey has held so much-infertility, 4 IVF cycles, 2 miscarriages, fibroids (that got removed), years, tears, unanswered questions, and unwavering hope.

Our two angel babies will always be part of our story, and while we’ll never stop missing them, we’re overjoyed to share that Baby Chase is due December 2026. 🎄🎄🙏🏾🙌🏾

If you know someone who is walking through infertility and/or IVF, please hold them close. Infertility and IVF have been one of the hardest things we’ve ever had to endure, and we know that for many, the journey is still unfolding. We’re holding hope for every family still waiting for their miracle.

Wow 🤯 I’m 44 and pregnant🤰🏾.

The first year of my PhD is done ✅

Will I finish? Not at this institution. 😲

Financing any degree is hard, and without funding, continuing this program is not sustainable for me. My program has not offered me funding, so I will most likely pause my PhD journey here. ☹️

There is a level of embarrassment because I wanted to finish and gradate. I was also the only Black student in my cohort, and that reality is not lost on me.

But what I will not do is lie to the public or the people I serve. There is power in transparency and honesty.

I’m not ashamed of my story. I’m sharing because I don’t think people fully understand how hard it can be to secure funding and complete a PhD program. There were real sacrifices made this year.

I will pursue my degree again in the future because my story is not done. Congratulations to every person who returned to school and finished their degree (Associates, Bachelors, Masters, Doctorate).

I have confidence in the clinical work, training, and experience I’ve gained so far. My work, my skills, and my experience are still valuable. I’m still licensed to practice in CT, MD, and DC. I know that nothing can outdo what my lord and savior has in store for me 😉🔥.

Teaching, law, dentistry, medicine, counseling, cosmetology are all professions that are legally regulated by state boards. Simply reading a book on any one of those professions and advertising yourself as those professions = legal fines and jail time.
