Therapy Services for Teens and Adults

Welcome! I'm happy you're here. Searching for a therapist is the first step in getting the support you need and deserve. I work with teens and adults struggling with anxiety, big life transitions, estrangement, and trauma. I specialize in woking with members of the adoption network and those impacted by foster care. I'm here to help you navigate the unique experience of parenting an adopted/fostered child and in navigating openness in adoption. I also work with adopted people age 12 and up in processing and taking ownership of their own story.
