I am trauma trained with a certification in play and sand tray therapy. Every child has a need to express emotion. I believe children work through events, stories and presenting problems while playing. The playroom is an opportunity for a child to explore, reflect and/or process life experiences. My favorite quote is "When you are free you can play-and when you're playing you become free." Heidi Kaduson

Difficulty, challenges, loss, transition....all these circumstances happen to each one of us and sometimes to the point where the weight is too much to bear alone. In those moments, no one should have to walk unaccompanied. Seeking therapy for the most minor or significant reasons is the very first step in working towards a healthier, more fulfilling life.
