Serving Redondo Beach, Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, and surrounding communities with in-person and virtual therapy for adolescents and young adults.
Being a young adult today comes with its own set of challenges that previous generations didn't face. Whether you're a college student home for the summer in Manhattan Beach, starting your first job in El Segundo, or trying to figure out who you are and what you want, it can feel like the pressure is coming from every direction.
From managing the transition to college life and figuring out career goals, to navigating complex relationships and the constant pull of social media, young adulthood is a time of major change. It's completely normal to feel overwhelmed, anxious, or uncertain during this stage of life. And it's also the perfect time to build the tools and self-awareness that will serve you for years to come.
Therapy gives you a safe, private space to work through these experiences with someone who truly understands what you're going through. You don't need to have everything figured out to get started.
Isabel gets it. She's relatable, warm, and genuinely non-judgmental. Her goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable being yourself, whether that means venting about a tough week, unpacking something deeper, or simply figuring out your next step.
Her therapeutic approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), narrative therapy, and strengths-based techniques. In practice, that means she helps you identify unhelpful thought patterns, rewrite the stories that hold you back, and build on the strengths you already have.
With a background in art history, Isabel brings a creative and perceptive lens to her work. She's skilled at seeing patterns and perspectives that others might miss, and she uses that insight to help you connect the dots in your own life. Sessions with Isabel don't feel clinical or rigid. They feel like a real conversation with someone who's in your corner.
Young adults and adolescents across the South Bay — from Redondo Beach to Palos Verdes — come to therapy for many different reasons. You might relate to one of these, or you might be dealing with something else entirely. Either way, Isabel is here to help.
If you're not sure whether therapy is right for you, that's okay. A free consultation is a great way to find out.
Life as a young adult is busy. Between classes, work, and everything else, finding time for therapy can feel like a challenge. That's why Isabel offers flexible scheduling with both in-person and telehealth options.
In-person sessions are available in the South Bay, convenient for anyone in Redondo Beach, Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, Torrance, Palos Verdes, or El Segundo. If you prefer meeting face-to-face, the office provides a calm, welcoming environment where you can feel at ease.
Virtual sessions are available via telehealth throughout California. Whether you're away at school or simply prefer the comfort of home, online therapy makes it easy to attend from your dorm room, your apartment, or wherever you feel most comfortable. All you need is a private space and a reliable internet connection.
Whether you're starting your career in Torrance or studying out of town and looking for a therapist back home in the South Bay, Isabel can work with you to find a format and schedule that fits your life.
