Adoption Therapy
Adoption is a meaningful way to grow your family, but it also brings complex emotions, challenges, and important decisions at every stage. I provide adoption-focused therapy for individuals and families — whether you are beginning your journey, matched with a child, or adjusting after placement. My goal is to provide professional guidance, emotional support, and education to help you navigate the adoption journey.
I specialize in transracial adoption and understanding the role of trauma in adoption, offering evidence-informed strategies to support families in creating a nurturing and intentional environment.
Support may include:
• Navigating the emotional and psychological aspects of adoption at every stage
• Preparing for a match and developing healthy relationships with expectant parents
• Supporting attachment, bonding, and adjustment after placement
• Exploring openness and birth family relationships
• Guidance on transracial adoption and identity development
• Understanding and addressing trauma and its impact on children and families
• Developing a supportive environment that honors your child’s story
• Strengthening parenting skills and confidence through education and practical strategies
Therapy is an essential part of a successful adoption journey. Working with me, you’ll gain not only support for the emotions that arise, but also professional guidance to anticipate challenges, make informed decisions, and build a family environment where both parents and children can thrive.
