Child Therapists in Covina, CA
I want to partner with each unique child from a place of deep love, care and respect providing a safe space and secure attachment to encourage healthy development and a joy-filled childhood.
At times we all struggle to find the words to express what we feel. Children can find healing and resolution for issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, parental divorce and life adjustments through talk, play, and art therapy. I desire for clients, of all ages, to feel seen, heard, and valued as they are encouraged to express themselves; verbally, visually, or both.
