Hey, I’m Bri-

I’m a marriage and family therapist intern and adoptee who survived what I now help others heal from.

Wife. Mom of eight. Former foster kid and teen mom. Now finishing my master’s in marriage and family therapy with a systemic trauma focus — and building the kind of resources I wish had existed when I was the one drowning.

I don’t sugarcoat healing. I don’t do toxic positivity. I bring clinical training and lived experience into the same room and I don’t apologize for either.

Here you’ll find free and low-cost resources for adoptees, trauma survivors, parents trying to break cycles, and MFT students who want more than what their program is teaching them.

If you’ve ever been told your grief was too much, your anger wasn’t allowed, or your story was too complicated — you’re in the right place.

My book Writing Over the Lines — written for adoptees, adoptive families, and the clinicians who serve them — is available on Lulu. Search Brielle Wilson.
