Search and Reunion Services

I have over 24 years of experience working in the area of adoption. I have worked with adoptive parents, adopting infants, both domestically and internationally, birth parents, and now post adoption services, primarily facilitating search and reunion services. In the early 2000’s, I did serve as one of two trainers in the state of MN, for the “Infant Adoption Awareness Training Program.”

I enjoy working with all members of the adoption community. I use a cognitive behavior therapy approach to understanding the beliefs and emotions affecting the problem behaviors in the family. I also am an adoptee in reunion and enjoy working with adult adoptees interested in searching for their history.
