As a therapist for more than ten years and social worker for twenty, I have years of experience with trauma, adoption, grief/loss, depression and anxiety; practicing EMDR when appropriate.
I would like to offer you a safe place to land at the beginning or at the end of a stressful day. Life is not easy, but it is easier when we have someone to support us along the way. Let's explore your feelings and thoughts about things that have happened to you and identify your goals together. I like to reinforce the power of self-care and find options and alternative coping skills to live more stress-free using, psychoeducation and mindfulness techniques. I understand the relationship between emotional and physical pain and can help you find ways to heal and live a more connected existence with yourself and others.

I also work with adoptees, transracial adoptees, and the adoption constellation.
I studied Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Northwestern University, and currently offer counseling and therapy sessions to diverse individuals, teens, and families who seek to build core strength, and to shift behavioral and thinking patterns that no longer serve them. Clients learn tools to manage anxiety, depression, and trauma related stress. My collaborative, multicultural counseling approach centers on fostering emotional-spiritual safety through an integrative, mindful-somatic lens. Clients seek to elevate their self-understanding and self-acceptance so they may more fully embody their unique gifts, purpose, and calling.

My experience includes private practice and work with courts, state/county divisions of child and family welfare, foster care/ adoption, high schools and colleges, My expertise extends to adolescents and adults focusing on attachment, trauma, grief and loss, anger management, adjustment to sudden life changes, depression, anxiety, and parenting.
We are all involved in a constant effort to balance our lives; to restore belief in our own power to face challenges that are sometimes overwhelming. We want someone to hear our story in a safe and non-judgmental space in order to gain fresh insight into our own abilities and to recover from the initial feelings of helplessness and confusion. Individualized guidance, can lead to the discovery of one’s own strengths and a gradual movement towards solutions that can be developed, in partnership, to restore that balance that we all strive to maintain when challenges leave us without answers, defeated and feeling powerless.

In this, I work with families experiencing trauma, grief & loss, attachment concerns/disorders, anxiety, pre/post adoption work, and histories with the child welfare system.

And if a child has experienced something traumatic, the struggle is 10-times harder. I am here to work with you, your child, and your family to create an experience that not only helps you child better understand themselves and their emotions, but also enhance the parent-child relationship. Together, as a cohesive unit, we work to create a treatment experience that is uniquely tailored to your family’s wants and needs.

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.
