The world is changing, and so are we. Maybe this presents itself as feelings of depression, anxiety, or confusion, fear, or judgment. You may have thoughts of “giving up” or feeling “stuck” while wanting to move forward yet lacking resources do so. Life is a journey and all the tools you need are within you, maybe it’s hard to tap into them right now. There are so many things you can do to flourish in life. You can find clarity, security and confidence in yourself and develop compassion for your inner-critic, while you create healthy connections within yourself, your relationships and your life. I can assist with virtual sessions.

I primarily work with women and children. I specialize in anxiety, attachment and trauma (Complex-PTSD and PTSD), depression, and mood disorders. I have training in multiple modalities and my style is warm and relationship based. I work with children five and up and consult for the very young (0-5). Supporting children overcome and manage anxiety, depression, trauma, and other challenges is such meaningful work. I have worked for 20 years with women, families and children.

Adoption Therapists
Does my adopted child need therapy?
Not every adopted child needs therapy. However, many can benefit from seeing an adoption-informed therapist, especially if they were victims of abuse or neglect, appear withdrawn or disconnected, have behavioral or developmental issues (which may or may not be related to their adoption), are struggling with feelings of grief or loss surrounding their birth parents, or find it difficult to establish an identity, a challenge that often becomes most apparent during adolescence.
When should adoptive parents seek therapy?
Prospective parents can benefit from therapy even before an adoption—for example, to voice worries and fears; to reconcile infertility struggles, if relevant; or simply to prepare themselves for parenthood. After the adoption, parents who are struggling to bond with their child; are unsure how to talk about adoption or related issues, such as race; or whose child is dealing with developmental, behavioral, or psychiatric concerns can address these and other issues with the help of an adoption-competent therapist.
Is family therapy appropriate for adoptive families?
Family therapy can be invaluable for strengthening the bond between adoptive parents and children, helping the latter feel more secure in their place in the family. Family therapy can also help adoptive families navigate complex communication issues—for example, parents who feel uncomfortable discussing race with their child, who in turn feels invalidated by their silence, or a child who has questions about his birth parents but avoids asking them out of fear of hurting his adoptive parents’ feelings.
What therapy is not appropriate for adoption issues?
A discredited therapy known as “attachment therapy” (sometimes called “holding therapy” or “rebirthing therapy”) should not be used to treat adopted and foster children, though it was largely designed for this population. Attachment therapy involves restraining, coercing, and punishing the child in order for them to “release” negative emotions and attach to their new caregivers—techniques that are abusive and dangerous and have even proven fatal in some cases.
