Relationships are important. Your relationship with yourself impacts your relationship with others. Your relationships with others (coworkers, neighbors, family) play a significant role in your life and theirs. You may even have pets and/or a spiritual nature. These, too, are relational. The only person you can change is yourself. Changing yourself changes your world, which includes all these relationships.

I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) therapist and first-generation immigrant who deeply believes in hope—the kind that keeps playing like music even when we cannot hear it. I believe in each person’s innate ability to find peace within themselves and in their relationships. I am passionate about the ripple effect of healing and how it can be passed from one generation to the next. I recognize that the world does not always make space for us to fully be who we are.

Most people don’t come to therapy or seek an evaluation because they have everything figured out—they come because something isn’t working, and they’re not sure what to do next. You may be noticing difficulty with attention, behavior, emotional regulation, anxiety, trauma, or challenges at school, work, or in relationships. For some, the question is “What’s going on?” For others, it’s “How do I fix this?” Our practice is designed to answer both. We provide comprehensive psychological and neuropsychological evaluations alongside targeted therapy, allowing us to move beyond surface-level support into clear, structured understanding.

FAQ - About Therapy for Toddlers and Preschoolers
What are the behavioral signs indicating a toddler might need counseling?
Common behavioral signs that a child may need counseling include high levels of emotional distress or anxiety, learning challenges, interpersonal conflict, anger, or social withdrawal. Any drastic changes in toddler behavior or self-esteem can be indicative that a child may benefit from therapy. Seeing a therapist at the early stages of any behavioral changes can be most impactful on behavior, as well as helpful to caregivers who may receive guidance on what symptoms to look for in their child in the future, even if therapy is not warranted at that time.
Can a two-year-old see a psychologist?
Children and adults of all ages can see psychologists and other forms of mental health professionals, such as counselors, psychiatrists, and social workers. Families seeking therapy for their toddler should just be aware that any guidance they seek should come from a professional who has specific experience working with young children, as well as the specific modalities that are appropriate for young children, such as play therapy.
What is the most effective type of therapy for toddlers and preschoolers?
In general, play therapy is the most effective and common form of therapy for young children. Play therapy helps facilitate behavior change by offering an age-appropriate way for children to express their emotions and develop more effective coping strategies. Toddlers with specific concerns may benefit from more specialized forms of therapy, such as Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy for children with autism or Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) for toddlers in families in which there is significant parent-child relational conflict.
What happens during therapy sessions for toddlers?
What occurs in therapy sessions for toddlers depends on the therapeutic approach being used by the therapist. Most toddler therapists will use some form of play therapy in sessions to encourage toddler engagement. In play therapy sessions, children are encouraged to use toys within the therapy setting to express their emotions; subsequent responses by the therapist and/or family members can help guide toddler behavior and behavior change. Toddler therapy sessions can also involve family therapy or Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), which can help improve parenting behaviors and reduce strain on families.
