Child Therapists in Claremont, CA
Although I work with all ages, I especially trained to work with young children and adolescents.
As a therapist, I understand how difficult it might be to take the first step toward healing. I have spent several years helping, assisting, and supporting others to do this very thing. My work with each client is unique; I use a blend of techniques which include client-centered, trauma focused, attachment focused, and solution-focused methods - focusing on the client's goals, as well as their strengths. My aim is to provide a compassionate and non-judgmental space to explore concerns, while balancing empathy with an engaged and interactive style.

I believe children of all ages can use play to communicate their wants and needs, and discover through therapy various coping strategies that can lay their foundation for how they will cope with life stressors today and beyond.
It takes great courage to seek help, and is a particularly difficult task when you are a parent of child who is struggling behaviorally and emotionally. I have over 15 years of experience working with children and families in the mental health field in a variety of settings including clinics, homes, and schools. I believe through therapy, children and adults find their resilience and courage within to overcome life's biggest obstacles and find their path to the successes they desire in life. The power of a child finding their voice or a parent building their toolbox of responses to difficult behaviors are some of my main focuses.

My primary therapeutic approach is Client Centered Play Therapy, a scientifically-validated approach for treating child and adult clients.
As a Registered Play Therapist, my mission is to bring healing to children, teens, and adults through the power of play. I specialize in treating individuals, couples, and families struggling with issues related to divorce, foster/adoption, abuse, child misbehavior (acting out), bullying, depression, anxiety, ADHD, and relationship problems. Because I incorporate play-based techniques into my practice, I am especially effective with young children (ages 3+) who struggle to express themselves verbally. My clients learn to express their emotions, take responsibility for their actions, develop better solutions to their problems, and interact more positively with the people around them.
