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.

They are the one we have with our parents and our children, the one we have with our partner and the one we have with ourselves.
I have practiced psychotherapy for over 40 years. I have developed a parenting educational program and I have written material on the dynamics and structure of a successful marriage which I assign as a homework tool when I am working with couples. We live in our marriages. If the marital structure is healthy and sound, our marriage will nurture us and provide a haven from the stresses of the outside world.

Child Therapists
Child psychologists in Covina, CA provide mental health therapy to children and are experts in child development.

Every comprehensive review of therapy with children shows that all credible approaches, when performed by a competent mental health clinician, produce almost the same results. About half of all kids will get better. Of those that improve, 80% will show progress in a relatively short time, while the remaining 20% will need longer-term support.

The best child therapists in Covina build great relationships with the child and the parent. They also see the child's strengths and are open to hearing the child's possible solutions to the challenges the child faces. Finally, a good therapist appreciates the child's culture and is sensitive to the values of the child's community.
