I enjoy working with people who are struggling with infertility, perinatal concerns, and new parenthood. I am especially interested in supporting those who desire to build their own families and need emotional support through the process of infertility, fertility treatments, and exploring various pathways to parenthood such as surrogacy and adoption. I am a strong advocate for maternal mental health and I believe more support for mothers is needed in our society after birth and adoption. I also enjoy working with those who are going through transitions in life, whether that is due to relationship changes, a move or change in job.

Dr. Carpenter knows full well that parenting can be both joyful and so hard. She founded It Takes A Village with the intent to support parents in need of brief, personalized assistance in identifying what they need to be the parents they would like to be. It can be difficult for parents to prioritize self-care, let alone sort through the overwhelming and generalized parenting advice that social media is known for. Consultations may be helpful for parents struggling with anxiety, stress, body image concerns, pregnancy and postpartum, or those whose child has a physical or mental health issue that requires parent support.

At the root of my approach is the understanding that our culture needs help, not you. Many of your thoughts and behaviors are a product of living in a dysfunctional culture, and when we start from there, you will see it’s not your fault and you’re not alone. I do not aim to dismiss your behaviors or play them off as "Oh it’s just culture’s fault”, I aim to expose Truth with you and help you observe what 'is', and take action from that place. There is always a transpersonal undertone, and our exploration will consist of breaking down the truth behind your thoughts and beliefs, which will gradually lead to innate peace and wholeness.

Female Therapists
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
