Children or teens battling adoption-related attachment difficulties or school avoidance face significant emotional challenges. Managing these difficulties requires a nuanced approach. Abandonment fears and difficulty forming secure relationships cripples a child’s social development, while school avoidance disrupts a child's academics and social-emotional well-being. Many families come to me feeling stuck and unable to move forward due to heightened stress related to these issues. I have years of experience working with children, teens and families struggling with adoption-related attachment concerns or school avoidance issues.

I specialize in trauma focused care and solution focused.
It can be difficult to open up and talk about your life stressors to someone you don’t know. Sometimes we can feel unheard or alone and just need someone who can be a helping, nonjudgmental, and listening ear. The hardest part can be finding the words to express ourselves and process what can feel like a jumbled mess and you just need someone to help put the scattered puzzle pieces together to create a beautiful picture. Aristotle said it best, “Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.” I can help with building coping skills, work on effective communication, self-expression, processing trauma/grief, and mindfulness.

Sometimes the decision to engage in psychotherapy can be daunting and overwhelming. You may have been contemplating the idea of beginning therapy for some time or it may be that an experience or something in your life has triggered the decision to begin seeking support and/or a change. Many people begin therapy because they are experiencing sadness, depression, anxiety, grief/loss or can't articulate the reason but know something is different and they just don't feel "right". Old coping mechanisms aren't as effective and/or you seek a different unbiased perspective.
