You (may) feel like you had a great childhood, and are bewildered that you don’t feel more content as an adult. Even people who were adopted moments after their birth feel the intense loss of their birthmother. Because our memories of our birth mothers are pre-verbal we can’t exactly put our finger on what’s wrong or express ourselves verbally. I will help you unravel the complex feelings you have and grieve the early loss of your birthmother.

I work with adoptees who are on any part of the adoption journey. With a background in family therapy, I am also able to work with the adoptee and other parts of the adoption triad including birth/first parents, siblings and adoptive parents.
