Supporting your child’s needs while strengthening your understanding of them and building your confidence as a parent.
Hi, I’m Justina
and I understand completely! Being a parent is one of the hardest jobs out there. You're always on duty, juggling the needs of your kids and family, trying to stay a step ahead, and constantly adapting as life and your child’s development move faster than you can keep up. As the eldest of four, I saw firsthand how my parents constantly worked to navigate our unique personalities and meet our individual needs while often feeling like they have failed as parents. Parenting can be unpredictable, confusing, and overwhelming, no doubt about it!
But you don’t have to face this alone. I'm here to create a space where both you and your child can feel empowered, supported, and understood. Whether it’s through play, reflection, skill-building, or simply listening, I’ll help your child find their voice and help you gain the clarity and confidence you need to navigate this journey. You already have the strength to support your child through life’s twists and turns, and together, we’ll unlock that potential.
Every family is unique, with its own set of needs. That’s why I believe in meeting you where you’re most comfortable—at home. By offering in-home sessions for families in the West Los Angeles area, I can better understand your environment and tailor my support to fit your life seamlessly. If you prefer, I also offer in-office sessions for those who might benefit from or need a change of scenery. Let’s connect and see how we can work together to support you and your child on this incredible journey.
YOU’RE NOT ALONE…
Life is unpredictable, and no matter how much we prepare, situations can arise that leave your child feeling overwhelmed, confused, angry, or shut down. In those moments, it’s easy for your child to turn to the thing that is easiest for them to use- their bodies. You may notice withdrawal, crying, body tension, or even aggression coming from your child and you have no idea how to help them in the way they need. It’s natural for kids to struggle with these experiences and they often don’t have the tools to navigate them on their own.
That’s where we come in. Together, we’ll work on helping your child understand and manage the many variables life throws at them. By creating a safe and supportive environment, both you and your child will find balance and clarity, even in the midst of chaos. Your child will learn to trust their own abilities and, most importantly, discover that they can have fun while doing it. Through our collaboration, you will both develop the confidence, understanding, and skills you need to face life’s challenges mindfully.
