Does this sound like you?
You and your partner have the same fight every single time.
You’re no longer connecting emotionally to your partner the way you used to.
You are curious about your birth/first parents but are afraid that searching may hurt your (adoptive) parents.
You are a transracial adoptee who wants to explore your racial identify.
Hi, I’m Debrah. I can help.
As an adoptee, I have dealt with many similar issues to yours! I am a same race, same religion, domestic adoptee currently in search for my birth parents. You deserve to have a compassionate person listen to you and help you “work through” all of the complex feelings.
I am also trained in couples and family therapy. I will not just teach you to listen to each other - I will teach you to understand each other.
Specialties
-
Being placed for adoption can reverberate through all aspects of your life including: romantic relationships, friendships, family, and work. I work with clients grieving the losses associated with adoption; trans-racial adoptees dealing with identity issues; and all of the complex emotions related to search and reunion.
-
You’ve read all of the recommended books and things between you still haven’t gotten better. Couples therapy really can help…
if you are in an inter-faith relationship and are trying to negotiate how to celebrate Christmas.
if you feel like you’re just two ships passing in the night - only communicating about logistics.
if you have different “love languages” and never seem to connect.
