In play therapy, I look for patterns that show up in the play. Often, these patterns can reflect what a child may be working through in their own life. Play therapy can assist with building self-esteem, creating safety, making sense of emotions, and so much more.
In addition to play therapy sessions, a key part of play therapy also includes caregiver sessions. In these sessions, it is helpful to hear about how your child is doing at home, in the community, and at school. This is also when we can discuss some of the patterns that have been showing up in the play, and explore how this may be showing up in your child's life.
Whether this is your first time in therapy, you are returning to therapy, or considering therapy for your child, I'm so glad that you are considering making this choice.
My approach to therapy focuses a large part on the relationship. It is important for me to get to know what is important to you, what your values are, and what might be causing you stress. Every person deserves an approach that is tailored to their unique set of strengths and challenges. I pull from a variety of therapy approaches and I find that my role in this process is most effective when we work collaboratively to explore the factors that are bringing you to therapy together.
