Summary
As I was working towards my doctorate in Clinical Health Psychology at Yeshiva University, I had my own struggles with infertility. My husband, Dan, and I were undergoing fertility treatments at New York Hospital with Dr. Zev Rosenwaks, who holds a very special place in our hearts given that he helped bring two of my three beautiful children into the world. I was also fortunate enough to have been counseled and supported by Dr. Laura Josephs, to whom I am also very grateful. We have three amazing children (Lilly, Nolan and Ned).
