Therapists in El Monte, CA

I specialize in providing psychological services to children and adolescents. These include neuropsychological assessment and psychotherapy. Assessments can be invaluable tools that provide diagnostic clarification, treatment recommendations, and the basis for academic accommodations. The therapeutic interventions I provide to young clients can be used to address a range of common challenges including, but not limited to emotional dysregulation and behavior problems. Based on the client, therapy may take various forms and could entail a talk or play-based approach. I regularly integrate parent or family sessions when appropriate.

It's difficult to find the right therapist, with the many different treatment approaches, personalities, and even worldviews. As a Catholic-Christian therapist, I know it's especially challenging to find a therapist who is professional and yet competent to understand the unique experiences and challenges of people of faith. There are many reasons why people might seek services, from feeling stuck to deeply hurting, or simply to pursue a greater degree of flourishing in one's life. Whatever the reason, it is my goal to provide the environment and relationship where healing and growth can occur.

My goal is to help people with the many facets and challenges life may bring. I believe in empowering a person to take control of their life and working on issues that they may have struggled with and could be affecting them. The vulnerability of welcoming a child into a family, having lost a loved one, divorce, depression, relationship problems, or life transitions may bring up unresolved issues and new challenges, but it also provides an opportunity to heal and stop cycles of intergenerational trauma and ultimately provide healing. The goal is to help you thrive just not survive in life.

My work and life experience repeatedly show me that we long for growth and life giving connections. Yet our behavior patterns, expectations, unmet needs, family dynamics, and coping skills (to name a few) seem to keep us stuck. You don’t need to figure this out on your own.
