Adoption Counseling

For Adoptive Parents and Birth Parents

How an Adoption Competent Therapist can Help

  • Adoptive Parents

    Becoming a parent through adoption can be an incredibly rewarding experience, but it can also come with its own set of uncertainties and emotions. As a certified adoption competent therapist, I offer personalized counseling to help adoptive parents navigate the journey of adoption, parenthood, address any concerns or anxieties, and build strong and healthy relationships with their adopted child.

  • Birth Parents

    Choosing adoption is a courageous decision that can bring about a range of emotions, from grief and loss to relief and hope. I am here to provide compassionate support to birth parents before, during, and after the adoption process. With a judgment-free space where birth parents can explore their feelings, process their experiences, and find healing and empowerment.

Adoptive Parents

Pre-Adoption Counseling: Before embarking on the adoption journey, it's essential to be prepared emotionally and mentally. I work with you to help you understand the complexities of adoption, manage expectations, and address any fears, grief, or anxieties you may have.

Support During the Adoption Process: The adoption process can be overwhelming with its paperwork, legalities, and emotional ups and downs. The lack of control can be scary and stressful. I offer support every step of the way, helping you navigate through the process with confidence, clarity and peace of mind.

Post-Adoption Support: The challenges of adoption don't end once the paperwork is finalized. Adjusting to life as an adoptive parent and building strong bonds with your child requires ongoing support. I can help you navigate the joys and challenges of parenthood.

Birth Parents

The decision to place a child for adoption can be one of the most difficult choices a birth parent will ever make. I offer compassionate support to birth parents as they navigate the complexities of their decision, including:

- Processing feelings of grief, loss, and guilt

- Exploring options and making informed decisions

- Coping with post-placement emotions

- Navigating relationships with adoptive families

- Finding closure and healing

I believe that every birth parent deserves support and understanding as they navigate their unique journey through adoption.
