Mental Health Therapy Specialities

Foster and adoptive parenting is meaningful, complex, and emotionally demanding. I specialize in supporting foster and adoptive parents as they navigate the unique challenges of caregiving within child welfare systems.
Therapy can support you in:
Managing secondary trauma and compassion fatigue
Navigating grief, loss, and ambiguous outcomes
Strengthening emotional regulation and resilience
Processing system-related stress and role strain
Maintaining boundaries while staying connected and compassionate
Whether you’re new to fostering or have been in the system for years, therapy offers a space that centers you—your well-being, your needs, and your sustainability.
-
Constant overthinking. Difficulty shutting your mind off.
Feeling like you should be able to handle more than you actually can. -
Low energy. Disconnection. Feeling stuck or not like yourself.
-
Patterns that keep repeating. Difficulty communicating. Feeling disconnected or misunderstood.
-
Change—even good change—can feel overwhelming. We work through uncertainty, identity shifts, and what’s next.

Therapy for those in caregiving, leadership, and service-oriented roles requires nuance and understanding. I specialize in working with professionals who hold responsibility, authority, and emotional labor—often all at once.
This work may explore:

In-person in Geneseo, New York
Virtually across New York State
Therapy With Me Is:
Practical — not just talking, but learning tools you can actually use
Insightful — understanding the “why” behind what you’re feeling
Collaborative — we figure things out together
Grounded — no overcomplication or clinical jargon
This isn’t about fixing you.
It’s about helping you understand yourself—and respond differently in your life.
Mental Health Therapy for Foster & Adoptive Parents
Parenting is hard.
Parenting children impacted by trauma and attachment challenges is a different level entirely.
As a Foster & Adoptive Competent Therapist, I provide specialized support for:
managing emotional and behavioral challenges
reducing conflict and burnout
strengthening connection and attachment
navigating the complexities of these family systems
This work requires a deeper level of understanding—and you don’t have to figure it out on your own.
You don’t need to have it all figured out to start.
You just need a place to begin.
This Might Be a Good Fit If…
You’re used to being the one others rely on
You’re feeling overwhelmed but still pushing through
You want practical support—not just a place to vent
You’re ready to understand patterns and make changes
Much of what I see in individual therapy—burnout, anxiety, emotional overload—is the same work I bring into organizations through speaking and training.
