Since play is the natural means of expression for children, toys become their words and play therapy becomes a safe and effective form of therapy for them to process their fears, worries, traumas and learn healthier, and age appropriate coping skills.
Is your child struggling, anxious or depressed? Today's adolescents, as well as middle and elementary school age children are under a great deal of stress, whether it is social, academic, familial, or a combination of all these factors. In this complex world, children often have difficulty navigating their environment. This may cause children to act out in inappropriate ways. For the past 30 years, I have helped numerous children to reach their full potential. Approximately 40% of my practice are children and adolescents; I also treat adults of all ages, including geriatric patients.

'Hearing with understanding is perhaps the better part of wisdom.' (-R. Lawhead).
Each of us is on a personal journey. The goal is to stay on our path, nurturing and connecting to our wholeness and sense of self. When learned behaviors work against our desires we often become frustrated and depleted leaving little to give to ourself and others.
Our situations are always unique, whether we are faced with depression, anxiety, couple or family problems, loss, parent- child issues, or transitional life challenges. A supportive therapeutic relationship can be a wonderful way to rediscover inner strength and regain perspective.
