Foster Care & Adoption

 I have a soft spot for foster care & adoption clients 💓

From the ages of 5-11, I lived in the foster care system. Five different homes over the course of six years. I was adopted at the age of 11. I was diagnosed with Reactive Attachment Disorder, PTSD & Depression. As a child, I saw a Play Therapist and was able to address all of my diagnoses. 

My personal experience being in foster care and then being adopted brings a wealth of understanding, empathy and compassion for the child and their family. 

I know what it's like to move from home to home.

I know what it's like to have a garbage bag to take your belongings to the next home.

I know what it's like hoping that someone will love you & adopt you.

I know what it's like to struggle connecting with others after your experience in foster care.

I know what it's like to wonder about your birth family.

I know what it's like to feel different because you were adopted.

There are so many things we can explore in therapy together, whether you are a child in the foster care system and/or an adopted child ♡
