About
Tough starts, early trauma, and missing pieces in our life story can affect how we feel about ourselves, connect to others, and manage day to day. As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, I have 25 years of experience working with children, youth and families in the context of child welfare. I am trained in adoption-competent mental health and have extensive experience working with individuals with developmental trauma, including those impacted by foster care. Looking at challenges through this lens can shed new light on what is happening and what is needed to move forward with less struggle and greater connection. View 6 Photos Attachment focused and trauma informed in my approach, my work with families emphasizes therapeutic parenting, building connection, communication, emotional attunement, and an understanding of the impact of the family’s individual and collective histories. Incorporating art into the therapy space can offer new ways to communicate and connect. Whether you are seeking ongoing counseling, a one-time consultation, parent coaching/education or a check-in every few months, the therapists at The Cradle Center for Lifelong Adoption Support are here to help.
