In Person and Online Sessions 
At C2Adopt - we have a a variety of therapists who are adoption competent and trauma informed. We work with folks of all ages whose lives have been impacted by foster care, kinship caregiving, adoption and third party reproduction.
I have worked in child welfare for over decades and have extensive post graduate training and expertise in the areas of attachment, trauma and adoption issues. I have been trained in EMDR, Theraplay and Family Attachment Narrative Therapy. I have completed TAC (training for adoption training) and am an adoption competent therapists. I work with youth and their families and adult adoptees. My areas of expertise are also helpful for folks who have been impacted by foster or kinship care or third party reproduction. As a queer therapist, I also enjoy working with LGBTQIA+ clients.
I believe that we are all doing the best we can with what tools and skills we have at a given moment. Sometimes we find that we come to a new place in life where our tools aren't enough or effective any longer and therapy can offer support towards increased self-understanding, skill building and ultimately our healing. I believe that nothing is set and that there is always hope for healing for us, our children and our families.
