ADOPTION/ NON CONVENTIONAL FAMILIES

Adoption, or being raised in a non-conventional family, is a unique experience. Whether you are a parent or a child in this family dynamic, it can be inherently stressful or scary to navigate. 

I am here to help you navigate this experience. 

Some areas I can help: 

-Navigating being raised by non-biological parents 

-Navigating parenting an adopted or non-biological child

-Navigating contact with biological parents

-Navigating finding out later in life of other family you were not aware of before. 

No matter what, adoption or being in a non conventional family is unique and rarer than being raised by a traditional family and it can be lonely to feel like no one understands. I personally do. I am here to listen and help you cultivate the best relationship with yourself and your family as possible.
