Full-Family Approach to Pre-K Play Therapy
The foundations of my practice include the Bowen family systems theory, Internal Family Systems, and Trauma theory. My work with children has also been inspired by the work of pioneers in play therapy like Dr.Garry Landreth & Dr. Eliana Gil
Specialties
Pre-K Play Therapy
I embrace the many, complex elements that make up a child's identity, addressing their
cognitive, emotional, & sensorimotor development through play.
While American society emphasizes the need for children to "use their words",
trauma can rob a child of their voice,
Play therapy can be particularly useful as it-allows a child to select
from a variety of curated toys to tell their story and find their voice.
Families
When a child experiences disruption,
it is a whole family experience.
Therefore I take a systems approach to healing.
Individuals
I also work with adults who are dealing with issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, loss, and tauma.
