FAQs

Where is your office located?

I offer in-person psychotherapy sessions in Woodinville, WA, along with secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth therapy across all of Washington State. Nationwide clients can access Virtual Perinatal Coaching.

What is the difference between Psychotherapy and Perinatal Coaching?

Psychotherapy is a clinical service for Washington State residents focused on diagnosing and treating conditions like postpartum anxiety, depression, birth trauma, and grief. Coaching is a forward-focused, non-clinical service available nationwide to help individuals and couples navigate the structural, emotional, and relational transitions of becoming parents.

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.

Can I talk to you about topics 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. My practice name aims to acknowledge the importance of this care work that is foundational to the health of our families and communities and deeply impacts our lives.
