When your child is struggling, it can start to feel like you're walking on eggshells in your own home, or like you've lost the easy closeness you used to have. A lot of my work is about getting that back. I'm a Registered Psychotherapist in play therapy and Theraplay, helping young children with anxiety, big emotions, and behaviour — and rebuilding the connection between child and parent that makes everything else easier. Sessions in English and Italian, in Mississauga or online across Ontario.

In play therapy, toys and play are how a child says what they can't put into words yet — and how they work through it. With younger ones I often use Theraplay, which brings you into the room to strengthen your bond, because feeling secure with a parent helps kids settle. I'll keep you looped in with things to try at home.

It's hard to watch your child struggle and not know how to help. You don't need to have it figured out before you reach out — that's what the first conversation is for. We'll talk about what you're seeing and whether play therapy is the right fit for your child. Send a message and we'll set up a free call, no pressure either way.
