Adoption Therapists in Centerville, OH
After years of providing a broad range of services in the context of a traditional private practice office, which I closed at the end of 2017, I began doing therapy online. I decided to offer online services to maintain a limited professional practice, available to select clients for whom such a service delivery platform would be appropriate. Services are available to children, youth, adults, and families at the rate of $75 per 45-minute session and are payable via PayPal. I accept NO insurance, only self-pay clients.

My ideal client is someone who feels overwhelmed by expectations, responsibilities, relationships, or stress and has difficulty finding space to care for themselves. They may be navigating anxiety, burnout, life transitions, or professional stress, especially in school or helping professions. They want greater clarity, steadiness, and confidence in themselves and their direction. Together, we explore how relationships, environments, and expectations contribute to stress while building healthier boundaries, practical coping strategies, and a stronger sense of self.

Whether you want a healthier relationship with yourself or with your partner, I’m here to help. Many of my clients come to me feeling stuck—caught in self-criticism, easily triggered, overwhelmed by overthinking, or unable to access the confidence and steadiness they know is possible. You may look “fine” on the outside while internally feeling off-base, reactive, or disconnected from who you truly are. You want more authentic confidence, emotional security, and relationships that feel safe, connected, and lasting.
For couples, you may be having the same conversations that repeatedly turn into misunderstanding, conflict, or emotion

For the past twenty years, I have worked extensively with families whose children have joined their families through foster care and adoption.
I have always liked this quote: "People who need help sometimes look a lot like people who don't need help." I am drawn to this quote and to counseling because I am a person who has lived through a storm or two. And, although your storm and mine may not look the same, I believe we all have common needs: to heal from something in our past, to overcome stress, fear and anxiety that makes us feel powerless and hopeless, or to navigate through an important relationship that is difficult.

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.
