About
Hi, I’m Marielle.
I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Certified Perinatal Mental Health professional, and the founder of Fertility Psychotherapy Group. I specialize in supporting individuals and couples through the emotional challenges of infertility, pregnancy, and the postpartum period.
My own complex journey through infertility, pregnancy, and postpartum recovery has fueled my passion for this work. I know firsthand how isolating and overwhelming this path can feel. It's my mission to help you navigate it with resilience, hope, and strength.
What sets Fertility Psychotherapy Group apart is not just professional expertise, but the deep empathy that comes from lived experience. This shared understanding forms the foundation of my therapeutic approach, ensuring that you receive both clinical expertise and heartfelt support every step of the way.
If you are considering therapy for infertility, pregnancy, or postpartum challenges, I invite you to reach out. You don't have to face this journey alone. ​
