Welcome to Play Therapy!

 

 

Play is the most natural way for children to explore their world... 

​

Play therapy is an opportunity for children to better understand their experiences and communicate their thoughts and feelings, through therapist-guided play activities that facilitate joyful interaction and self-regulation of emotions and behavior.

"What does play therapy look like?" 

​

 Depending on your child's interests, play therapy can take a variety of forms, such as: dance-and-movement activities, singing, drawing or coloring, storytelling, pretend play, and interactive games.

​

Generally your child can choose from a variety of play materials, including: percussive instruments, art supplies, puppets, miniature figures, and social board games, as well as objects found in nature, like twigs and shells. Given the current shift to a virtual platform, many play therapy materials have been adapted to provide on-line remote accessibility to a wide variety of therapeutic play activities.

​

Play therapy can be provided through individual sessions, parent-child sessions, and/or sibling sessions. My sessions are designed for children ages 2 to 12, as well as for teenagers with special needs.
