Adoption

Adoption Counseling

Foster care or separation from early caregivers can be traumatic for adoptive children, sometimes leading to attachment issues, behavioral problems, and other integration struggles. I provide expert support for youth who have experienced hurt and loss through past traumas. I help clients regulate emotions, improve communication, and develop coping strategies.

I have personal as well as professional expertise with adoption, as I am myself an adoptive parent. When individuals work to overcomes challenges, develop coping skills, and build healthy boundaries, the whole family benefits. I'm certified in Adoption Clinical Training and a Positive Discipline Certified Teaching Parent.
