My experience in trauma therapy enables me to assist clients in processing and healing from past traumas through techniques like EMDR and ART. Play is the natural language of children, and through it, they express their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. I use play therapy to create a safe & nurturing environment where children can explore their inner world, build resilience, and cope.
