Therapy for Kids in Hermosa Beach

Children often express emotions differently than adults. Big feelings can show up through behaviors, anxiety, difficulty regulating emotions, friendship struggles, school challenges, or shutting down when something feels overwhelming. Sometimes children do not yet have the words to explain what they are experiencing internally.

I provide child therapy in Hermosa Beach using developmentally appropriate approaches designed to help children feel safe, supported, and understood. Sessions may include play therapy techniques, creative activities, games, emotional regulation tools, and age-appropriate coping skills to help children process emotions and experiences in a way that feels natural to them.

With extensive experience working in a school with children ages 4–14, I support children navigating anxiety, behavioral challenges, emotional dysregulation, depression, social difficulties, self-esteem concerns, and life transitions. Therapy can help children build confidence, strengthen emotional regulation, improve coping skills, and feel more successful in their relationships at home and at school.
