Do you or your child struggle with anxious thinking, depression, or explosive behaviors? Issues such as these can feel overwhelming and exhausting. It can be challenging to see the light at the end of the tunnel. It can be easy to practice avoidance and find ourselves pretending these challenges aren’t there or wishing them away. However, navigating these issues don't need to be so daunting! I believe there is always room for change and hope for strengthened relationships.

The search for a therapist can be difficult, so I am very glad you're here. I have over 15 years of experience in treating children and adolescents through an attachment and relational parent-child lens. I incorporate parenting support into each session in order to best support both you and your child. Much of my therapy with children also includes family therapy as I view parents and families as an integral part of treatment. When working with adults, the work tends to be longer term. I use an attachment and values based lens to get to the core of what my clients are struggling with in order to create new, healthier patterns.

Sometimes the change happens to us, through loss and separation, and we need help getting through it. Whether change is something you want in yourself or your relationship, or you are grieving change life has thrown your way, processing in therapy can help. We do not have to go through the challenges of life alone and confused. Having someone come alongside with empathy and knowledge can be a light in the dark that illuminates the path forward.

For over 25 years I have been providing counseling to individuals, couples and families. I strive to establish good relationships with my clients through a warm and genuine interaction and thus create an environment where they feel comfortable to express their feelings openly. Once people feel safe enough to really share their struggles, worries or fears, then a solution can often be found. My strengths are working with teens, late adolescents, parents, families, couples (infidelity), adoptive parents(or those who wish to be), and individuals needing help with depression, anxiety or grief and loss.

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can benefit from seeing an adoption-informed therapist, especially if they were victims of abuse or neglect, appear withdrawn or disconnected, have behavioral or developmental issues (which may or may not be related to their adoption), are struggling with feelings of grief or loss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