About Play Therapy
Play therapy differs from regular play—I utilize both client centered play therapy and directive play therapy interventions, including Sandtray therapy, with clients to allow them to work through issues that are often too difficult to process through talking alone. A combination of play therapy and traditional talk therapy, geared to the individual client's developmental level, is utilized.
Because I have an attachment-based lens in my approach with clients, parental involvement (as appropriate) is encouraged and welcomed in therapy with adolescents and teens.
In addition, I specialize in working with individuals who have experienced trauma and use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) protocols developed specifically for younger clients
