Children (6 to 10) Therapists in Calgary, AB

Do you feel like life is demanding more than what you can handle? Do you feel like you’re going through the motions without feeling like an active participant in your own life? Do you struggle with lack of motivation in one or more areas in your life? Trying to prioritize your health while also caring for others can leave you feeling disconnected, anxious and depressed. Becoming aware of the areas in our life that you want to improve is the first step in beginning to shift your perspective and attitude, to take a more active role in navigating your life and to feeling more fulfilled.

Children experience the world differently. Adults can talk; children prefer to play. Play therapy allows freedom and growth. The play experience takes children's focus off negative self-talk and promotes positive self-awareness. Play therapy helps to explore emotions, work through challenges, and nurtures mastery and resilience. As a Registered Play Therapist with advanced training in play therapy, I can help you find a way to connect with your child. A fully equipped playroom with special toys allows children to fully express their feelings, and supports their growth and changes.

I have experience with a variety of client challenges including anxiety, addiction, complex trauma, depression, ADD/ADHD, learning disabilities, grief, etc. I have a strong interest in Interpersonal Neurobiology (the brain’s ability to rewire itself when offered corrective emotional experiences) and Sensorimotor Therapy, which rests under the assumption that trauma or attachment disruption is stored in the body.
