A child’s most natural activity is to play. With Child-Centered Play Therapy, children express their feelings, learn new skills, grow, and heal. In the playroom, your child will build confidence, responsibility, self-control, self-acceptance, and coping skills. In Child-Centered Play Therapy, I do not direct your child’s play, so that your child is free to make choices and explore. I build a safe and trusting relationship with your child that encourages your child to process tough emotions, try new behaviors, and discover their inner strengths all through their play.

This video is a fun reminder that kids are not miniature adults. They are unique young people with a special way of relating to their world. Children are constantly changing, learning, and growing. In order to help kids with difficulties, we need to meet them at their level, through play.

The Playroom is intentionally designed to facilitate the child's self direction within the safety of the therapeutic relationship. A variety of toys have been selected to promote self expression, exploration, learning, and healing.
