Life can be challenging... no matter how old you are. I am currently serving as a behavioral coach within the South Bay Child and Family Therapy practice. I specialize in adjustment difficulties, behavioral intervention, and healthy life transitions. I provide behavioral intervention for children, adolescents, and adults. I also have extensive experience working with children who have special needs, and I am knowledgeable about the special education eligibility process.I have worked with children, adolescents, and families in the South Bay for over 20 yrs. My various professional roles have provided me with a breadth of experience working with families and youth of all ages and abilities in a variety of settings, including as Therapist, Intervention Counselor, School Psychologist/Counselor, and Early Intervention Teacher.Additionally, I am a lifelong resident of the South Bay; I was born and reared in Rancho Palos Verdes, graduated from Miraleste High School, and have lived in Redondo Beach for the last 25 years. Therefore, I have great familiarity with the local community, including its diverse demographics, schools, and lifestyle.
