Adoptive Parent Therapy

There are many resources available to serve birth mothers or individuals who have been adopted, but there are few resources to support parents who seek to adopt. I am passionate about providing services to parents who are going through the adoption process, as I know from firsthand experience how traumatic, time consuming, expensive, and heart wrenching it can be — while simultaneously being an incredible and hopeful opportunity. 

If you’re navigating the long and arduous process, the paperwork, the painful waiting, and the emotional highs and lows — I am here as a safe space where you can fully show up and feel the full range of your emotions. In the process of becoming an adoptive parent, you may feel like you need to show up perfectly in order to be chosen. I want you to know that you can come to therapy and be yourself, because I am not judging how ‘fit’ you are to be a parent. We will use IFS to explore the different “parts” of your experience — the angry or relieved parts if an adoption falls through, the fearful and grateful parts if you are chosen — all of you deserves to be seen and heard. I would be honored to provide that space for you.
