I'm a dedicated registered play therapist with a passion for working with children aged three and up. Approximately 80% of my practice is focused on helping young clients navigate their emotions and experiences through play. I believe it’s essential for children to have their own designated space for therapy, which is why I offer a specially designed Play Therapy room in our clinic. This environment allows children to step away from a traditional office setting and engage in therapeutic play that fosters healing and growth.
My approach combines different methods that put children first, allowing for both gentle guidance and more direct support, depending on what each child needs. This flexibility helps me adjust to each session’s unique situation, making sure children feel safe and supported as they share and express themselves.
In addition to my work with children, I devote 20% of my practice to adults, focusing on mood disorders and trauma. My approach with adults is client-centered and holistic, emphasizing the importance of the whole person in the healing process. Spaces are limited.
