Support for the Complexities of Foster Care and Adoption
Foster care and adoption can bring profound connection and meaning while also creating complicated emotional experiences for children, parents, caregivers, and families.
Therapy can provide a space to explore those experiences without reducing them to simple narratives about gratitude, attachment, or family.

I approach foster care and adoption with an awareness of the multiple perspectives and histories that can exist within a family. Therapy can help individuals and families understand their experiences, communicate more effectively, and navigate difficult transitions with greater support. Virtual services are available throughout California and Pennsylvania.
