Anchor & Bloom Child and Family Therapy is a San Diego–based practice supporting children, adolescents, and families through emotional, behavioral, and developmental challenges. We specialize in working with anxiety, big emotions, trauma, and life transitions that can feel overwhelming for both children and parents.
Grounded in attachment-based and trauma-informed care, I honor each child’s unique way of expressing and processing their experiences. Through approaches such as child-centered play therapy, Theraplay, and evidence-based trauma treatment, I help children feel safer in their bodies, more confident in their emotions, and better able to connect with others.
I believe healing happens in the context of safe, supportive relationships. I partner closely with parents and caregivers to strengthen connection, build resilience, and support lasting growth—so children can feel anchored in safety and bloom into their fullest selves.
