I use the therapeutic power of play and brain research education that provides practical solutions to restore emotional stability for the child. I work with parents every step of the way in supporting their child’s mental wellness.
For most of my life I have interacted with children. But it wasn’t until my graduate work in clinical psychology that I began to see a child’s world through the power of play. As a Registered Play Therapist (RPT-S) I can help children express what is troubling them when they cannot verbally express their thoughts and feelings. I utilize Theraplay Informed Protocol and MIM assessment to strengthen and grow child and caregiver attachment through experiential play therapy,
It’s a privilege to help your child find their voice, heal from trauma, gain confidence in school, make friends, engage in playgroups, and increase in learning.
