Introduction

Is your family going through a stressful situation? Does your young child have big emotions that feel heavier than you know how to handle? Are you seeing frequent tantrums, hitting or throwing, difficulty with transitions, or signs of anxiety or sadness? Has the school started calling with concerns? You’re not alone. I’m Silvia, a bilingual (English/Spanish) licensed therapist with over 25 years of experience working with young children and their caregivers. I specialize in early childhood mental health and in helping parents understand what’s driving their child’s behavior. Parents often reach out to me about their child’s development, emotional outbursts, defiance, divorce, adoption, after a stressful or traumatic experience, or for a preventative consultation before concerns escalate. I also provide therapeutic visitation and court-involved services when needed. My work is play-based, relationship-focused, and practical. I don’t just work with your child—I work with you. Together, we focus on helping your child move from overwhelm to regulation and resilience, giving you practical tools you can use. Therapy with me is supportive and grounded in everyday life. My goal is to help your child feel safe and understood and to help you feel more confident and hopeful as a parent
