Why
Play Therapy?
When I work with children I do so in a play environment because that is the realm in which they think and live. They express themselves often in what and how they act more than words.
Children/Adolescents
I firmly believe a problem with a child or teen bleeds into family life and my philosophy is to include parents in treatment. You are the best resource for your child. Please expect this. In a divorce or custody situation both parents must give legal consent for the child to see me for therapy.
