Child Therapists in Martinez, CA
I work to support children, adolescents, and adults struggling with depression and anxiety, trauma, relational challenges, and behavioral and educational concerns.
I believe that therapy can be a powerful tool to build upon or develop skills to manage life's many twists and trials. Therapeutic work can also be extremely effective in improving and changing our relationships. I strive to create a comfortable and supportive environment where individuals feel seen, heard, and respected. I love the work that I do and I believe it is really important to maintain a level of hope that positive change can occur in your life. This hope is especially important for those who've been impacted by trauma and abuse and for new parents struggling to find their way, both populations I have a passion to serve.

All members of a family have an important job. I believe in a family-centered approach that prioritizes connection which promotes resilience in children and their families. As a parent/caregiver, you deserve a space to process your experiences and feelings that arise when caring for a child. Children encounter challenges at every stage of development. Whether these difficulties are typical for their age or arise from unexpected stressors affecting the child or family, seeking counseling might be beneficial. I have decades of experience working with children and find ease and joy in building rapport with kids.

Are you in a "caterpillar stage" of life? You sense that you could be more, but you find yourself limited by negative thoughts and/or overwhelming emotions. Or are you in a "chrysalis stage"?
