As a play therapist, my goal is to provide a safe and therapeutic environment for children and adolescents to express themselves and heal using their primary language: Play. Although appropriate for adults, traditional talk therapy can prove difficult for children and adolescents. By utilizing play therapy, I'm able to build a strong and safe therapeutic relationship, a cornerstone to change and healing. In addition, I provide supervision for licensed counselors seeking the Registered Play Therapist credential. Call or email today for current availability!

Every day I have the privilege of working with the bravest folks on the planet & none of you know it when you first walk in the door. You often feel defeated, overwhelmed & ashamed that you aren't able to "get over" your sexual, physical or emotional trauma. It's also common for you to have a nagging, chronic sense that something is just not right, an unhappiness; feeling unloved or unlovable, disconnected from friends and family, having lost a sense of purpose or direction. Without knowing that these symptoms may be telling us that a past trauma--long ago

Often children ask for help is ways we do not understand. Yelling, hitting, no communication, self-harm, change in social habits. Through soothing and hands-on sessions such as painting and sand, calming music and a lot of plants, let's figure out the angry and what we can do instead of yelling. Why the self-harming and what are other ways to manage? What is the root of the family fights? Anxiety does not need to control you. Parents, let's find something different to do because at the end of the day, I know you want happiness and love. Come as you are. I embrace all with a warm heart, an open ear and with hot chocolate :)

Are you a parent or caregiver who is struggling to connect with your child? You find that your child is having emotional outbursts that feel overwhelming to you. Maybe you feel at a loss for how to help your child. You feel like you've tried "everything" and nothing seems to be getting any better. I offer play therapy and parenting sessions to help strengthen the relationship and bond between caregiver and child, and to help your child work through their big feelings. We say that all behavior is communication, and often underneath all of these behaviors are really big feelings that children are just not able to communicate.

Sandplay Therapists
What problems are best treated with sandplay therapy?
Research has examined this therapy’s utility in young people and found positive results. It has been shown to be useful for those who suffer from autism, attention deficit disorder, anxiety, and or aggressive behavior. Children who have suffered abuse, neglect, or trauma have also seen improvement through this therapy. Abused children are often fearful and anxious about their safety, making verbal communication more difficult.
Is sandplay therapy suitable for children and teenagers?
Children and adolescents are good candidates for sandplay therapy. Many kids and teens are often unable to form and communicate their thoughts, let alone the emotions they are experiencing. Through this play therapy, they will hopefully make connections between what they feel inside and how the world works outside.
Is sandplay suitable for adults?
This type of therapy can be useful for adults who have difficulties expressing themselves. People who have suffered neurological changes after a brain injury or because of a traumatic event might be good candidates for this therapy. In fact, anything that has had an effect on the brain, such as substance abuse, can make non-verbal sandplay a valuable option.
Does sandplay therapy work?
There have been studies on the effectiveness of sandplay therapy, and it appears to improve difficult behaviors in children. It may also enhance self-esteem and lessen feelings of physical anxiety as well as hypersensitivity. This type of therapy is based on non-verbal communication and may feel less threatening to the individual.
