I have extensive training in infertility and adoption.
Do you feel stuck or that there should be more to life? Do you feel your life lacks purpose and meaning? Are you struggling with a particular problem or mental health concern? I know it can feel intimidating to seek help, but counseling can be enjoyable and a positive first step to living your best life. I work with adults 18+ to identify situations, thoughts and beliefs that affect your relationships, school, career and wellbeing. We will work together, in a confidential, safe, nonjudgmental environment to find answers to the problem areas that are holding you back from achieving goals and the life you envision.

Are you struggling with anxiety? Grief? Your identity or self-esteem? Are you an adoptee or adoptive parent navigating the adoption triangle? Life has curve balls that can greatly impact our personal and professional lives; that can make us retreat, isolate, and see ourselves in a negative light. This, in turn, can lead into deeper struggles and us not feeling like ourselves anymore. Yet, that's not the end of your story! You have a purpose and deserve to live a beautiful, happy and fulfilled life where you feel confident and equipped to overcome that inner darkness.

Life can get hard, unpredictable and messy sometimes, especially over the last couple of years! Feeling lost and confused, is part of having a human experience. It's ok not to have all the answers right now, and it's even ok if you've stumbled and fallen. Nobody does this "life thing" perfectly. Maybe, you are considering changing some part of yourself or your life. Great for you!!! It takes a lot of courage to get to that place. Asking for guidance or help is a huge step and it's healthy!

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can benefit from seeing an adoption-informed therapist, especially if they were victims of abuse or neglect, appear withdrawn or disconnected, have behavioral or developmental issues (which may or may not be related to their adoption), are struggling with feelings of grief or loss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.
