Adoption and Foster Care Support
Therapy for foster and adoption situations involves specialized support tailored to the unique challenges and dynamics faced by both children and families. For children who have experienced trauma, loss, or instability, therapy aims to provide a safe space to process emotions, build trust, and develop coping skills. It focuses on addressing attachment issues, identity formation, and any behavioral or emotional difficulties that may arise from past experiences. For adoptive parents and foster caregivers, therapy offers guidance on understanding and meeting the needs of their child, navigating complex family dynamics, and fostering healthy attachments. Additionally, therapy can help families navigate the complexities of adoption or fostering processes, manage transitions, and strengthen communication and resilience within the family unit. Overall, therapy in these contexts emphasizes empathy, sensitivity, and a holistic approach to supporting both children and their caregivers through their unique journeys.
My Adoption Story
Bre entered foster care at age seven and was adopted at ten, a transition that brought love but also deep confusion and anger she didn’t yet have words for. She coped the only way she knew how—by pouring herself into sports and staying constantly busy. It wasn’t until adulthood and marriage that she began to fully understand how those early experiences shaped her. Now, Bre uses her lived experience to walk alongside children and families navigating similar journeys. She works closely with individuals and parents who are just beginning their adoption journey, helping them prepare for the emotional transitions that often unfold and offering grounded, honest support along the way. Bre brings a unique perspective to her work, helping adoptive parents better understand what their children may be feeling and needing beneath the surface. Passionate about adoption and foster care support, Bre finds purpose in giving back to a community that shaped her, offering compassion, clarity, and hope to those finding their way.

In the image, you’ll notice the bear Bre is holding—this is the same bear she was given on the day of her adoption, March 7, 2000. It has followed her through every season of life, serving as a reminder of her story, her resilience, and the heart behind the work she does today.
