FAQs
How often do I need to attend therapy?
Many people start therapy during times of intense stress or crisis. I typically begin with sessions occurring once or twice a week for the first few months. This frequent contact helps build trust, clarify your needs, and provide immediate support and practical tools. As symptoms improve, we can discuss reducing session frequency.
Can I bring my baby?
Yes! Babies under six months old are always welcome to join therapy sessions, whether we meet in person or online via Telehealth. Around six months, many babies become more active and may find it harder to tolerate their parents’ attention being focused on the session. 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?
Although perinatal therapy is my specialty, my work often continues beyond those early stages. I frequently begin with clients during these transitional moments, but not always. Once you become a client, you are welcome to continue regardless of how your situation changes. My goal is to support you throughout your ongoing journey, not just in the beginning.
Can I talk to you about things unrelated to pregnancy, birth, and parenting?
Absolutely. While many clients come to me seeking support for perinatal and parenting challenges, I recognize that each person’s life is complex and multifaceted. Your experiences outside these areas are equally important and inform your experience. I invite you to bring any thoughts or concerns to our sessions; no topic is off-limits. Taking a holistic approach to our work together helps us build a deeper understanding and a stronger foundation for your growth and healing.
Why Women’s Work?
The term "women’s work" refers to the often unseen, unpaid care that many of us do as women, mothers, parents, and caregivers. I chose this name to acknowledge the importance of this work that shapes our families and communities and deeply affects our lives.
I view care work as an embodied practice that centers the well-being of children, partners, community, and most importantly, ourselves. Prioritizing care offers an alternative to cultural messages that value productivity and self-reliance, and helps people reclaim meaning and agency in their lives.
