Are you an adult adoptee who’s always felt a little out of place? Maybe you’ve coped on the outside while quietly questioning your identity, carrying a fear of abandonment, or feeling like something essential is missing. These are deeply human and often hidden experiences for many adoptees. You don’t have to go through them alone. As an adoptee therapist, I work with adults who want to gently explore their story and reconnect with a stronger sense of self, in a way that feels safe and steady.
I offer therapy for adult adoptees, exploring identity, emotion and self-worth. My relational, collaborative approach includes IFS, supporting gentle and compassionate understanding of your unique story at a pace that feels right for you.
As both an adoptee and a counsellor, I understand how complex this journey can be. My lived and professional experience help me offer a space that feels safe and genuinely attuned. You don’t need to explain adoption from scratch - I’ll meet you where you are, with empathy and care.
