Infant therapy is a gentle, relationship-focused approach that supports a baby’s emotional development and the bond between parent and child. It’s not “talk therapy” in the traditional sense—rather, it uses observation, play, somatic awareness, and reflective dialogue to understand what your baby might be communicating through their behavior and body.

As early as you want! Even newborns benefit from safe, attunes relationships. Therapy at this stage is about supporting your baby through you by helping you read their cues, regulate together, and build strong emotional foundations early on. Additionally, therapy at this stage can support a disruption in your relationship with your baby, early trauma that either of you have experienced, or questions about developmental growth. I am here to support at any time you and your baby feel ready.

Therapy is more successful when done in person either at my office or in your home. As a parent to a young child, there are many things you are juggling and navigating. My goal is to take the blueprint of your life and fit support into it rather than the other way around. In home sessions allow for me to see your natural environment as well as provide support in the space that you will naturally spend most of your time with your child.

Yes. Infant therapy is dyadic, which means we work with both you and your baby together. Sessions are flexible and centered around your baby’s rhythms—feeding, soothing, and rest are welcome parts of the process

While most sessions focus on the parent-infant relationship, I can absolutely include co-parents or other caregivers when helpful. Supporting your family's emotional ecosystem can be a vital part of this work.

nfant therapy may be helpful if:

• Your baby is difficult to soothe or cries frequently

• Feeding or sleep feel stressful or dysregulated

• You experienced a traumatic birth, NICU stay, or postpartum mental health challenges

• You feel disconnected from your baby

• You’re noticing early developmental concerns

• You simply want to build a more confident, connected relationship

However, every family is unique, and this list isn’t exhaustive. If you’re wondering whether infant therapy can help with something not listed here, please reach out—I'm here to listen and explore that with you.

When providing support to your little ones, I aim to feel and understand the dynamic you have with your child. So sessions will have a combination of me joining for different daytime routines, talking while with the baby to navigate any feelings and or questions you feel persist, and gentle body work with your baby. Depending on your baby’s age, body work will often look like coached engagement between you and your child where I model different skills and have you do them in real time.

Sessions typically last 50-55 minutes. However, depending on the time of day and your child’s needs, your baby may not be present for the full duration of the session. I am here to work into your schedule and come in during the times that feel most feasible and useful for you both.

The length of therapy depends on your goals. Some families come for a few sessions to feel more grounded. Others stay longer to support developmental needs or emotional healing. We’ll check in regularly to make sure it feels right for you.

Therapy focuses on your emotional experiences, history, and attachment—working from the inside out. Coaching focuses on observable interactions, tools, and feedback in real time. I often blend both, depending on what you and your baby need.
