“Working with adoptive families is especially important to me as my husband and I are parenting two children adopted through foster care. I know firsthand how important it is to have supportive people around you who truly understand. I strive to make my clients feel understood and comfortable to say the hard things in a judgment free space. I believe it is only in those truly vulnerable and honest places that we can work towards hope and healing.”
