Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about therapy, scheduling, fees, and working together.
If you don't see your question here, you're always welcome to reach out. I'm happy to answer your questions during your free 15-minute consultation.
Getting Started
-
Yes. I offer a free 15-minute consultation where we'll get to know one another, talk about what's bringing you to therapy, answer your questions, and see whether working together feels like the right fit.
-
You don't need to have everything figured out before reaching out. Many people contact me because something feels off, even if they can't fully explain why. Whether you're navigating pregnancy, postpartum, parenting challenges, anxiety, or concerns about your child, therapy offers a place to better understand your experience and explore what may be most helpful.
-
You don't need to decide before contacting me. During your consultation, we'll talk about what you're experiencing, your goals, and what feels like the best fit. Whether that's child-centered therapy, parent, caregiver, and family support, maternal and perinatal mental health therapy, EMDR therapy, or an EMDR Intensive, we'll decide together based on your needs.
-
Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and for me to better understand what's bringing you to therapy. We'll talk about your experiences, concerns, and goals as we begin building an approach that feels right for you.
-
Every person and family is different. Some come for support with a specific concern, while others choose longer-term therapy. We'll check in regularly and adjust our work together as your needs evolve.
-
Most therapy sessions are approximately 50 minutes. EMDR Intensives are scheduled separately and vary in length depending on your treatment goals.

Services
-
Yes. I work with children experiencing anxiety, emotional overwhelm, behavioral challenges, sensory differences, and difficulty expressing their feelings. My approach is child-centered, trauma-informed, and neurodivergent-affirming, with parents remaining an important part of the therapy process.
-
Yes. I support mothers while trying to conceive, during pregnancy and postpartum, and in early motherhood, whether they're experiencing anxiety, depression, intrusive thoughts, birth trauma, grief, or simply feeling unlike themselves during this season of life.
-
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy that helps people process distressing experiences that continue to affect them. It can help with trauma, anxiety, distressing memories, and other experiences that feel difficult to move beyond. We'll discuss whether EMDR is a good fit during your consultation or in your early sessions.
-
Yes. Parent, Caregiver & Family Support is for moms, dads, co-parents, and other caregivers who feel stretched thin or want support understanding and responding to their child. Sessions are for the adults, and partners or co-parents are welcome to join.
