Every hero's journey includes guidance as they are growing and transforming to who they want to become. Your child is a hero that is fighting through uncharted territories in our culture and society and he or she might be continuing to fight battles with depression, anxiety, anger, or ADHD. Through struggle is how battles are won, confidence is created, and heroes are forged but they do not have to fight this alone. If you are searching for new perspective to address behavioral issues, tools to reduce anxiety, or just looking for guidance in parenting then give me a call.

Sometimes therapists are called the "wounded healers" because from their own life experiences they have decided to help people. I am proud to be one of those therapists. I have had a wealth of life experiences and losses and can truly empathize with my clients. I have experience in many areas of Social Work; including housing homeless people, coordinating adoptions, and advocating for pre-adjudicated youth. As a Clinical Therapist, I have worked in Home Based Therapy, Community, Residential, and Addiction. I firmly believe that these varied populations and organizations have enriched my integrative approach to therapy.

The therapeutic process is about you!! We all have a story, and a past! It is imperative that you feel comfortable and safe for a clinician to earn your trust, to engage and assist you on your journey of interpersonal change. I recognize the significant role you play in developing your tailored treatment plan and how vulnerable you must feel asking for help. If you are uncertain what you need, want, desire or struggling where your life's path is taking you, know the power is within you to make rational positive changes and choices for your life with the assistance of a trained clinician.

It's easy to feel lost right now and to not know how to navigate life and everything that comes with it. You do not have to have everything figured out because sometimes the best thing you can do is to keep moving forward, but after doing it alone for too long, it becomes harder. Asking for help and starting therapy can be scary. Especially if you have never done it before or had a previous bad experience. My job as a therapist is to help you increase your inner-strength and navigate whatever overwhelming emotions that you are having.

"Just do what you can today." It can be as simple as getting out of bed or brushing your teeth. Your “best” each day is going to look different and that is okay. Reward yourself for the accomplishments you did, no matter how big or small.

We as individuals can lose ourselves in this big world of choices, mixed-up thoughts, and happenstance. You may no longer think, feel, or behave in preferable ways and desire real change. Whether it be the effects of past trauma, relationships, parenting struggle, or health concerns, we may find we aren't managing life at the top of our game. Sometimes, we are barely making it at all. We can explore your needs and break through the challenges so you can move forward living your best life.

Life can be overwhelming sometimes, but you don’t have to navigate your healing journey alone! While making yourself vulnerable may seem scary, it is also one of the strongest indicators of courage. When faced with overwhelming emotions, it can feel comfortable to avoid those feelings; however, comfort and courage cannot exist at the same time.

"Obstacles don’t have to stop you if you run into a wall. Don’t turn around and give up, figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.” Every person has the ability to reach beyond the limits of what is possible, and we only reach these limits by working through them until we go beyond them into the impossible. Each step we take can move us towards achieving those goals.

My ideal client is someone who feels stuck concerning their relationships, emotions, work, finances, health, or purpose. They are looking for an identity outside of parent or worker. They are feeling depressed and hopeless lately. They are the type that is generally anxious, worried, or on edge. Their goal may be to change their life, but they are not sure how. They may have tried a ton of different self-help, spiritual, or healing modalities on their own but had moments where they have started to think it's never going to happen for them. They need to break free of nonproductive cycles and poor choices to change their lives.

We offer specialized services for couples, families, and individuals. Many couples arrive at MOF with two questions looming: (1) Is this relationship worth saving? (2) Should I walk away? They have experienced infidelity, loss of trust, lack of intimacy, an inability to communicate without arguing, and have often begun living as roommates. We also see parents who are desperate to find help for their children and struggle with parent / child relationships.

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.
