Reproductive Health Issues

  • Are you struggling with an unplanned pregnancy?
  • Were you (or your partner) recently diagnosed with a Sexually Transmitted Infection?
  • Do you feel you should be tested for a Sexually Transmitted Infection but are fearful of the results?
  • Have you recently experienced a miscarriage?
  • Are you a pregnant teen who is struggling to tell your family or partner?

What happens to our bodies affects every aspect of our lives.  While it is crucial to obtain necessary medical care, our emotional health can be greatly impacted and should not be neglected in these situations.  Your emotional wellbeing during these difficult situations will be my focus. 

I will provide a safe environment to discuss these sensitive issues.  Together we can weigh options, identify & work through feelings of fear, shame, anger, sadness & loss.  I will also provide resource information and referrals.
