Counseling for Kids & Teens with Cancer or Illness | Orange County, Corona & Norco

Child Counseling

For kids aged 5-11, I offer play therapy, sand play, art, expressive art & puppets, bibliotherapy (storybook-based) and medical play therapy (using medical supplies to help normalize their experience). If your child is experiencing a medical illness, I can consult with their medical team to ensure continuity of care that addresses their psychological & emotional needs throughout their treatment. Where applicable, healthy siblings are considered in my overall therapeutic approach.

Teen Counseling

For adolescents aged 12-18, I offer age-appropriate interventions that are customized to their personal interests, talents, & skills. My therapy approach focuses on building safety & trust with your teen to help them open up.

If your teen is going through a medical illness such as cancer or a chronic illness, I can help them adjust to the changes, cope with their diagnosis, and process their feelings to help reduce distress. If consultation with their medical team would be helpful, I will coordinate that.
