Whether you are an adult experiencing conflict with self, a teen or kid navigating behaviors and fitting in, or your concerns are more centered on racial identity or adoption identity, you feel I may be able to help.
Social work and therapy became my focus because I love to help others. I enjoy topics surrounding identity and I enjoy trauma focused work. As a TRA I’m especially passionate toward exploring the intersections of race and adoption. Finding your place at any age can be challenging; empowerment is needed through all stages.

As a mother through birth and adoption, I know how difficult it can be when your child is
struggling.
Sometimes we all feel stuck and don’t know how to move forward. Asking for help isn’t a
sign of weakness, it is a brave step toward growth and healing. Whether you're
navigating relationship challenges, parenting stress, anxiety, depression, or simply
feeling lost in your own story, you don’t have to do it alone. I help individuals, families,
couples, and children rediscover connection, build confidence, and move forward with
clarity. Together, we’ll create space for real change, increased insight, and meaningful
growth.

I believe that all people are capable of change and meaningful connections. Sometimes we just need help figuring out how to get there.

It is a joy to work with people from all walks of life. I have a no-judgment stance in the therapy room. Come as you are and we will work together to determine who you want to be.

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can benefit from seeing an adoption-informed therapist, especially if they were victims of abuse or neglect, appear withdrawn or disconnected, have behavioral or developmental issues (which may or may not be related to their adoption), are struggling with feelings of grief or loss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