As a therapist with a deep appreciation for the diverse forms of family, I have a profound commitment to supporting those who've chosen the beautiful and complex journey of fostering or adopting, as well as individuals who have been adopted. The experiences and emotions entangled within these journeys are unique, and I want to assure you that I'm here to support you every step of the way.

In fostering or adoptive scenarios, and for those who have been adopted, there can be a myriad of emotions, questions, and challenges that arise. As we navigate these paths together, my aim is to provide a safe, compassionate space where every feeling is valid, and every story matters.

My approach to therapy is flexible, empathetic, and rooted in widely recognized therapeutic modalities, which can be adapted to fit the distinct needs of your situation. These include Family Systems Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

Family Systems Therapy is especially effective for foster or adoptive families as it recognizes the family as an interconnected system. It explores the relationships, dynamics, and patterns within the family unit, providing insights that can help us collaboratively foster healthier, more constructive interactions.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on the formation and development of relationships between caregivers and children. This modality can be crucial in adoption or fostering contexts, as it works to develop secure, nurturing bonds, helping both parents and children navigate attachment issues that may arise.

CBT, on the other hand, highlights the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It can be an essential tool to address specific challenges such as understanding complex emotions or developing coping strategies, encouraging positive thought patterns and behaviors.

For individuals who have been adopted, it's important to understand that your feelings, whether of joy, confusion, loss, or curiosity about your roots, are valid. In our sessions, we can use these modalities to explore your experiences, process emotions, and develop a stronger sense of self-identity.

As we embark on this therapeutic journey together, my primary aim is to cultivate a space of understanding, empathy, and acceptance, where all experiences are acknowledged, and all voices are heard.

Whether you're a foster or adoptive family seeking guidance, or an adopted individual looking for support, remember that seeking help is not a sign of weakness. Instead, it's a testament to your strength and resilience, and your commitment to personal and familial well-being.

I am honored to be part of your journey, ready to provide professional expertise and understanding as we navigate the complexities, celebrate the triumphs, and weather the challenges together.

In our shared space, every story is significant, every emotion is welcomed, and every member of the family is valued. I am here, ready to walk this path with you, offering guidance, understanding, and unwavering support.
