Frequently asked questions

If your question isn't here, reach out — I’m happy to answer.

Who are your groups for?

We have groups for first time moms, second and third time moms, and parents of toddlers. We also offer a free feeding group.

Can I bring my baby to a group?

Yes — for First Time Moms Club, Second Time Moms Club, and the Feeding Circle, please bring your baby. Our space is set up for breastfeeding, bottle-feeding, diaper changes, and all that comes up during early motherhood. Snack Club is the exception — it meets after bedtime and is intentionally a space just for moms.

How much do the groups cost?

First Time Moms Club and Second Time Moms Club run are typically $385 for a 6-week cohort. Snack Club is about $70 per group. The Beehive Feeding Circle is free. We also have some sliding scale space available for groups if that is something you need — reach out and we can discuss this more!

What ages are the babies in the groups?

First Time Moms Club and Second Time Moms Club are for moms with babies 0–4 months. Snack Club is for moms of toddlers (roughly ages 1–4). The Feeding Circle is open to anyone with a baby of any age — newborn through weaning.

What's the difference between Snack Club and the other groups?

Snack Club is a group that meets monthly for moms with toddlers. Our other groups, First Time Moms Club and Second Time Moms Club, are 6-week groups for moms with babies 0-4 months.

Is the Feeding Circle really free?

Yes! The Feeding Circle is a free, drop-in support group with a board-certified lactation consultant. We made it free because feeding support is one of the most-needed services for new parents. There's no insurance to navigate, just support!

Can my partner attend?

Our groups are mom-only spaces — they're designed to be a place moms can open up about their experiences together with other moms. We hold special events for families, so reach out if you’re interested in something like this!

What should I bring to a group?

Yourself, your baby, and whatever you'd normally bring on an outing — diaper bag, bottle, snacks for you. We have water, extra wipes and diapers, a couch, nursing pillows, and space to breastfeed or bottle-feed comfortably.

How is this different from a free hospital led mom group?

Hospital led mom groups are wonderful, and many of our group members have attended them too. One difference is that our groups are led by a licensed therapist, which means when something hard comes up — postpartum anxiety, birth trauma, marriage strain — there's someone in the room trained to hold it. Our groups are also smaller and with the goal that real friendships form. Everyone joins a group chat, often meets for coffee after the group, and hangs out at other times during the week.

Do you offer evening or weekend groups?

Snack Club meets in the evening, after bedtime. Our First Time Moms Club and Second Time Moms Club currently meet during weekday daytime hours.

Who do yoy see for individual therapy?

I specialize in perinatal mental health — pregnancy, postpartum, the early years of motherhood. Common reasons clients meet with me include postpartum depression and anxiety, birth trauma, NICU stays, pregnancy loss and grief, fertility challenges, identity changes around becoming a parent, and the slow work of figuring out who you're becoming. I also work with people with anxiety and going through life transitions more broadly.

Do you take insurance?

I am an out-of-network provider, which means I don’t bill insurance directly. After each session, I can provide a superbill you can submit to your insurance for reimbursement. Most PPO plans offer some out-of-network mental health coverage. I’m happy to help explain this more fully with you.

What is your therapy rate?

My individual therapy rate is $250 for a 50-minute session.

What is the cancellation policy?

For groups, I understand it is normal to miss a group. If you or your little one aren’t feeling well, please stay home to help keep everyone healthy. Our groups are small and designed to be consistent, which helps create a safe and supportive space for everyone. Because of this, there are no refunds or make-up classes for missed sessions, even if you're out sick or traveling.

For individual therapy, I ask for 48 hours notice for cancellations. Sessions cancelled less than 48 hours in advance are charged at the full rate, with the exception of genuine emergencies, which I always work with on a case-by-case basis.

Where are you located?

We're located at 635 Massachusetts Ave, Suite 14, in the heart of Arlington Center, on the second floor. We're right next to Tatte. There's metered street parking on Mass Ave and a parking lot behind the building. The 77 bus stops directly outside.

Do you offer online therapy or online groups?

I offer individual therapy online for clients in Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, and Washington DC. Our groups are in-person only — being in the room together is a meaningful part of how the groups work.
