My practice is specialized in working with members of the adoption community including parents, birth parents, children, and adults. As a transracial adoptee myself, I understand the distinct personal experiences of adoptees. I strive to provide a safe space for people to explore their feelings, foster healthy communication, and address any behavioral/emotional issues. I utilize a combination of talk and art therapy to explore each client’s adoption story with compassion, understanding, and empathy. I help people navigate the complexities of attachment, abandonment, identity, and grief that can arise in the adoption process.
Additionally, I offer Art Therapy to people seeking a non-verbal and accessible way to express feelings regarding current life events that could be difficult to articulate using words. Art Therapy can be beneficial to people dealing with anxiety, depression, and trauma as it fosters self-awareness, emotional release, and personal growth.
By utilizing trauma-informed practices and culturally sensitive approaches, I seek to empower families and individuals to build strong, resilient lifelong relationships and promote healing.
