I believe in a client-centered and client-directed approach in working with individuals, couples, and families. Anxiety, depresion, grief and loss, trauma, marriage and relationship issues, parenting issues, and adoption issues can all be barriers to living a fulfilling life. My role is to help you overcome those barriers blocking your progress, interfering with relationships, and holding you back. I have worked with families and children via the child welfare system - focusing on abuse, neglect, behavioral, and parenting issues for nearly 30 years - and began seeing clients in private practice more than 5 years ago.

My primary focus lies in supporting individuals navigating parenthood, from pregnancy, loss, the postpartum period, and beyond. It's a time of immense change, both physically and emotionally, and it deserves the utmost attention and care. Often times, this life change brings up many unresolved traumas, anxieties, and emotions. I understand the courage it takes to reach out for support during such a vulnerable time.

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can benefit from seeing an adoption-informed therapist, especially if they were victims of abuse or neglect, appear withdrawn or disconnected, have behavioral or developmental issues (which may or may not be related to their adoption), are struggling with feelings of grief or loss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