Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy

With over six years of experience working with children, I am well-versed in the art of play therapy. My expertise lies in utilizing therapeutic play techniques such as sand, play-doh, clay, puppets, and role-play to help children process complex emotions seamlessly. Through my practice, children can process their emotions without being consciously aware of it, leaving them feeling much more relaxed and at ease.

With my extensive experience working with children ranging from 4-year-olds to adolescents, I have learned that creating a safe environment for them is absolutely crucial. I always encourage role-playing and playtime, which is why I provide younger children with teddy bears and puppets to stimulate their imagination.

During play therapy, each child will be provided with a personalized box that they can decorate to their liking. Any creations made during the sessions will be stored in the box and given to the child to take home.

In order to provide a feeling of safety for older kids and teenagers, I provide a variety of items like fidget toys, slime, clay, and other stimulants.
