Frequently Asked Questions

  • I work with parents of all identities — and I welcome clients from all walks of life. I am queer- and kink-affirming, cisgender but deeply committed to supporting trans, nonbinary, and gender-diverse parents, and experienced in working with polyamorous and ethically non-monogamous families. I especially enjoy partnering with clients who might consider themselves a little “outside the box” — those whose lives, relationships, or parenting styles don’t always fit the mold. My clients often value community care of social justice.

  • No. While I prioritize working with those who are pregnant, newly parenting, or in the first three years with a child — including those who are TTC (trying to conceive) or preparing to — I also work with individuals who are not actively parenting but whose experiences are deeply connected to attachment and caregiving. This might include people navigating pregnancy loss, adoption, or their own history as an adoptee. If you think you might fit but do not fit these categories, please reach out.

  • I use a blend of approaches that move beyond traditional talk therapy. My work is rooted in the body and nervous system, using them as guides to where healing is most needed. I integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, and somatic practices, along with inner child work and other experiential methods that may feel a little more creative or “woo-woo” — but can lead to profound change. This combination supports deep, lasting transformation that works from the inside out.

  • Parent–child therapy focuses on the relationship between the baby or young child and their caregiver(s). Sessions include both the parent(s) and the child together, with special attention to the back-and-forth interactions that build connection and security. My role is to help parents expand their capacity to be both a secure base and a safe haven for their child. I often use modeling, reflective discussion, and play-based interventions to support stronger, more attuned relationships.

  • Reflective consultation is designed for clinicians and professionals who work with parents, infants, and young children. It’s a dedicated space to slow down, think deeply, and explore the emotional layers of the work. We reflect not only on the families you serve but also on your own experiences and responses, strengthening both your skills and your self-awareness. This is especially suited to those in early parenting, maternal mental health, or infant mental health fields who want to deepen their practice.

  • Yes. I offer virtual sessions on Mondays and Wednesdays, as well as in-person sessions in my office on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Virtual appointments on Tuesdays or Thursdays may be available if needed. Parent–child therapy, however, is only available in person, as the nature of the work relies heavily on in-the-room connection and observation.

    Please note that relational services (like couples or family therapy) are not billed through insurance. Insurance requires assigning a mental health diagnosis to one individual and justifying treatment as “medically necessary,” which can lead to misdiagnosis and limit the work we can do together. Providing these services outside of the insurance model allows us to focus on your family’s goals without compromising accuracy or ethics.

  • The first 1–6 sessions are what I call the “assessment period.” I’ll ask questions to get to know you, your history, and what’s bringing you in, but we’ll move at the pace your nervous system can handle. We may start exploring your past gently, or focus on present concerns first. Some clients want guidance and structure; others prefer to lead with what’s most alive for them in the moment — both are welcome.

  • There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. For trauma-focused work, therapy often takes longer, but most clients begin to feel at least some relief or hope within the first 90 days. Deep, lasting change — especially for attachment and trauma concerns — often takes a year or more. For clients without significant trauma histories, therapy may be shorter-term, sometimes under a year. And some people choose to continue even after their main goals are met, simply to have a supportive space for ongoing reflection.
