Individual Play Therapy for Kids and Teens in The South Bay

Therapy shouldn't feel like a chore.

It should feel like a place your child is glad to be, where they learn real tools for big feelings and hard days.

Who I Work With

I see children and teens ages 4 to 17 in Redondo Beach and by telehealth across California, along with some young adults up to 25. Families often reach out for:

  • Big emotions and meltdowns

  • Anxiety, worry, and school refusal

  • ADHD and autism support

  • Friendship and social challenges

  • Life transitions and family changes

My Approach

Kids work through life with play. Using play therapy, CBT, and Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT Trained), I help your child understand their feelings, calm their body, and practice coping tools they can use in real life. Younger kids learn through games, art, and building. Older kids and teens blend conversation with skill-building.

Parents are part of the process. We stay in touch so you have practical strategies to use at home.
