      • Oct 2021 - Present

      As a Non-Directive Play Therapist I am trained to trust that children are capable of directing their own process, rather than imposing my ideas of what a child may need to do in therapy. By creating a safe, free, and protected environment, each child I work with is provided the opportunity to work through deeper feelings and experiences in order to develop better coping mechanisms and to build resilience. I also work alongside parents and caregivers, providing them the resources to better support their children.
