Healing starts with connecting and connecting starts with being vulnerable.
THERAPY
Do you feel you worry to much, sleep to long or not long enough? Does it feel like a pain to be around friends or family for a long period of time? Just facing the day can be so overwhelming. Sometimes the people who we are closest to just don't understand.
You want to wake up and feel ready to face the day. You want to laugh again and cry for a reason. Breathing would come naturally and the thoughts would stop.

"Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children play is serious learning. Play is really the work of child hood."
Fred Rogers
PLAY THERAPY
Child play therapy is a way of interacting with a child at their developmental level. Play Therapy works with child in their “language”. Through the use of toys, art, and other mediums a child can safely work through their stressors. Licensed mental health professionals therapeutically use play to help their clients, most often children ages three to 12 years, to better express themselves and resolve their problems. However, play can expand across all ages.
FAMILY THERAPY
When working with children parental/guardian involvement is a must. By using different family approaches and play therapy your family can grow closer, calmer, and happier. Because the entire family can participate than it is a more genuine experience and therefore successful.
INDIVIDUAL THERAPY
In my therapy sessions, we work together to achieve success. I use client centered methods, simply put the child guides the session. They are able to trust and address underlying issues safer and faster.
