Introduction

A meaningful part of my practice is supporting those connected to adoption; whether you’re an adoptee, birth parent, or adoptive parent. Adoption can bring love, hope, and joy, but it can also raise questions about identity, belonging, and connection. Many clients also carry grief, loss, anger, and unresolved trauma that are often connected to their adoption journey. In a space built on trust and respect, we’ll address your challenges with compassion and care to support you in regaining stability in your life. Healing isn't about forgetting; it’s about reclaiming who you are, rebuilding the connections that matter, and finding peace with how far you’ve come. I love being a therapist because I truly understand how hard adjustments and transitions can feel, and I know how much it helps to have someone who really gets it. I can relate to the feelings of uncertainty, identity struggles, and emotional ups and downs that often follow traumatic experiences. Walking alongside clients as they work through these emotions and discover their own strength is what makes this work so rewarding to me. Taking that first step can feel scary, but seeking support is a powerful and brave choice. You are the author of your next chapter—reach out today!
