I bring depth, authenticity, compassion, and play into therapy sessions.
*I currently have no openings.* So much of the stress and pain we experience in life is rooted in relationships, but we also find healing in relationships. In our relationship as counselor and client, we can process unmet needs, the feelings that lie beneath, and patterns in relationships. Together, we can explore new ways of being and un-learn the defense mechanisms you needed to survive but are no longer serving you well. With this new awareness, ownership of your experiences and needs, and self compassion comes agency, change, and healing.

As a Registered Play Therapist I primarily use play therapy with children, as play is their language.
My vision for therapy is to provide a safe, fun, and comfortable space, where every part of you is accepted and valued. Starting with our first session and continuing throughout out time together, I will complete thorough assessments to explore the best approach to supporting your individual needs. I have found that the most important thing in therapy is to keep the relationship at the center. I am a strong believer in understanding the motives and needs underlying our thoughts and behaviors, while exploring how they serve to protect us. If we can shift the kaleidoscope of life ever so slightly, a new reality is possible.

Over the years, I have built a level of expertise in understanding the role that the transpersonal plays in the healing process. Being a Registered Play Therapist means that I have examined clinically how the story we tell ourselves about an event dictates both the burdens & the strengths we assign to our "self."

Play Therapy
Generally for children ages 3 to 11, play therapy is a form of counseling that relies on play to help therapists communicate with children and understand their mental health. Because children develop cognitive skills before language skills, play is an effective way to understand a child. The therapist may observe a child playing with toys--such as playhouses and dolls--to understand the child's behavior and identify issues.

If you're looking for play therapy in 05404 or for 05404 play therapist, these professionals provide play therapy, play therapy children, child play therapy, play therapy for children, sandplay therapy, family play therapy and group play therapy. They include play therapists, play psychologists, play psychotherapists and play counselors.
