I welcome being able to help you. Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming. I work with adults, teen, and children facing anxiety, depression. grief, life transitions, and identity struggles. I see parents who want guidance supporting children who are neurodivergent, LGBTQ, and ADHD, and behavioral challenges. I see individuals and couples exploring family building: infertility, adoption, surrogacy, egg donor, sperm donor, embryo adoption. I conduct required psychological assessment for Intended Parents, egg donors, and surrogates.
I believe therapy should be collaborative, compassionate, and practical. We will explore what's happening in your life, build coping strategies ,and strengthen resilience. I draw from evidence based practices including CBT, supportive therapy, Gotham, and family systems.
I can provide references from individuals and couples as to their experience of being in counselling with me and many agencies that have referred the surrogate, or egg donor or an Intended Parent for the required psychological evaluation
