Has your child experienced a trauma and you don't know how to help him/her? Is your child having difficulties in school that you sense are more than just academic? Do you want to better understand your child's emotional world? If so, I invite you to call me for a free consultation to see if I can be of help to you and your family.

Play is a child's primary means of self-expression. In Play Therapy, feelings, metaphors and tensions arise representing the emotional struggle the child has experienced. When they feel safe, accepted, and understood by the therapist children are able to process difficult emotions and develop resources to help them feel calmer, more resilient and more confident. Through play, the child and therapist build a special relationship that leads to growth and healing.
