How often do I need to attend therapy?

Many clients come to therapy during significant challenges—times of heightened stress, anxiety, or emotional turmoil. In my experience, meeting once or twice a week during the first few months offers the best support. This frequency enables us to create a strong therapeutic relationship where I can understand your needs and provide helpful tools and strategies when you need them most.

Can I bring my baby?

Yes! Babies under six months old are always welcome to join therapy sessions with you, whether we meet in person or online via Telehealth. After about six months, many babies become more active and may find it harder to sit quietly during sessions. For children older than six months, I encourage scheduling appointments during nap times or when another adult is available to care for your child.

Is perinatal therapy really all you do?

Perinatal therapy is indeed my specialty, but my work often extends beyond those initial stages. Many people don’t realize how much of our adult lives can be influenced by experiences around conception, pregnancy, postpartum, parenting, or perinatal loss. I usually begin working with clients during these important transitional moments. However, once you become a client, you remain welcome regardless of how your situation changes. My goal is to support you throughout your ongoing journey, not just during the early phases.

Can I talk to you about things unrelated to your specialty?

Absolutely. While many clients come to me seeking help related to perinatal and postpartum challenges, I recognize that every person’s life is complex and multi-faceted. Your experiences outside of these areas are just as important. I encourage you to bring any thoughts or concerns to our sessions. No topic is off-limits, and this holistic approach helps us build a deeper understanding and a stronger foundation for your growth and healing.

Why Women’s Work?

The phrase “women’s work” refers to the often invisible, unpaid labor traditionally associated with women, such as caring for children, managing a household, and supporting family life. When I chose this name for my practice, I wanted to highlight the irony of how domestic work is often undervalued, despite its profound importance. I view the care of children, families, homes, and ourselves as a radical and powerful form of resistance against detrimental patriarchal norms. My work honors and celebrates the true worth of this essential work.
