Child Therapists in Burbank, CA
I worked with families and children, helping them to be more aware of their strengths while respecting each others as an independent unit.
My greatest reward as a therapist is helping my clients explore ways to make the changes in their lives that will allow them to look forward to the future with hope. I believe that we all need someone to talk with who will listen and accept us without judgement. I consider therapy as a privilege where I am invited into my client's lives, and to travel the journey with them through healing, change and self-empowerment. I utilize different modalities such as; psycho dynamic theory, attachment theory, cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness.

When working with children and adolescents I encourage self-expression, communication, and problem solving.
I have been practicing as a licensed psychotherapist since 1983. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and couples. I provide an understanding, caring and empathic environment to help you gain a better understanding of yourself and your circumstances. I utilize traditional “talk therapy,” which focuses on clarifying the nature of the problems. I help you to understand how your life-history contributes to your current situation, and to recognize and utilize your strengths in order to change negative patterns of thinking, behaving, and communicating.

Hello! I work with tweens, teens, and millennials to help them go from isolation, sadness, dropping grades, excessive worry and difficulty managing life/family stress to feeling more confident, happier, able to manage school/life, hanging out with friends on the weekends, and deeper relationships with family. I love working with people who feel like they just don't fit in and helping them to find that confidence to be themselves. I also love helping people to connect more to their friends and/or family and to build those natural support systems.
