Child and Adolescent Therapy

Play – The Royal Road to the Inner Child

Play is the expressive language of children and, to the skilled play therapist, can lead directly to the heart of social emotional difficulties affecting growth and development. I have worked with children for many years both as an educator in the school system as well as in clinical settings as a play therapist. If you have a child in need of a skilled, caring therapist you have come to the right place. I work with parents to assist in their abilities to positively support their children and to rework dysfunctional relationship patterns and unhelpful power struggles.

I also work very well with adolescents (and their parents), who fall somewhere on the spectrum between these broad categories of “child” and “adult.” I am skilled and very experienced with helping navigate this shifting, creative and often confusing time.
