Play Therapy

I have specialized training and extensive experience in play therapy and I am a certified play therapist. Throughout the years of practice I have used this treatment for children because it helps them attain optimal healing and achieve personal growth. Playing creates for a child a safe psychological space from their problems while allowing for expression of thoughts and feelings that are appropriate for their development.

Play therapy is a demonstrated, theoretically and clinically sound approach that builds on the normal communicative and learning processes of children. I may use different types of playing such as with books, games, sand tray, toys, or puppets in order to help a child cope, learn new skills, be able to express their emotions and experiences, develop insight, to find healthier solutions and the desired outcomes.
