My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe and supportive space for children and their parents explore life's many challenges.
My approach to working with children is based on the understanding that play is a window into the child’s mind. Because children’s verbal skills are not fully developed, they use play as a means of communication. Child-centered play therapy gives us the opportunity to view the child’s world through their eyes.
