Toddler Therapists in San Diego, CA
Life can be stressful for adults, and children too. I specialize in working with youth, families, and adults to process their past traumatic events and childhood abuse. I utilize a cognitive behavioral, integrative approach, with a trauma informed lens and an emphasis on evidence-based therapies. I know that it can be difficult to talk about these events. That is why in therapy we will work at your pace to identify the impact that your trauma has had on your daily functioning. You will learn skills that help you express and regulate your feelings, challenge negative thinking patterns, and build healthy relationships.

The first step on the path to healing can be the hardest. Often times, we feel fragile, whether it be from past trauma, debilitating depression, anxiety, conflictual relationships, and the overall stresses attributed to life. Sometimes we feel surrounded by people who look but do not see us, hear but do not listen or understand which can lead you to feel isolated, disconnected, and misunderstood. Therapy is a space to navigate this desolate plane, a place to help you achieve a more fruitful and fulfilling connection with yourself and others. I have experience working with couples, individuals and families.

I like to be interactive, practical and creative to give patients increased understanding and awareness of their issues, to increase coping skills to alleviate distress, to practice new behaviors, and offer support and convey understanding.

I specialize in working with children, adolescents, parents, and families. Play Therapy is my preferred modality as children communicate more freely using play, My professional experience includes helping children whose parents are involved in the process of divorce and I am trained in Co-Parenting, which is a specialization that addresses parenting issues that arise from divorce. Recognizing the significant impact that parental separation can have on a child’s well-being, I work closely with parents to facilitate healthy communication and co-parenting strategies to help foster emotional resilience for their children.

Life is tough and we all need a place to rest. I give youth, adults and families rest by creating a warm and inviting place to share their struggles. I listen to what has or has not worked in order to identify your strengths. We collaborate on goals and create a plan to overcome any struggles so you can be successful and confident now and in the future. Each child and family brings their own story to therapy and requires me to be flexible and creative. With young children, I work to enhance the parent-child relationship through positive, warm interactions and help the parent establish appropriate and firm boundaries.
