Description
Does your child struggle with expressing their emotions? Are they facing challenges that seem difficult to talk about? Are they struggling with confidence and self-esteem? My play therapy approach helps children navigate their emotions, behaviors, and challenges through the power of play. My playroom work is a gentle, effective way for children to communicate their thoughts and feelings in an age-appropriate way such as through toys, games, and creative activities.
