MY PLAYROOM:
Toys R Us - Eat your heart out!!! This is my "play room"... most kids find it very difficult to leave after we've begun our work together and look forward to the next time we meet.
I am trained in Experiential Play Therapy and offer a lot of "tools" for your child to work through their emotional struggles, w/o having to talk or verbalize them. The toys are your child's words and my training allows me to understand the metaphor they are playing out, and to gently guide them in our play towards healing, empowerment, and mastery. Your child will lead the play and I am one of their "tools", following their lead and interpreting their play (verbally, through actions, and through sounds). I have been honored to be a part of many children's healing journey, as well as helping their parents understand what is happening inside of their child and how they can help the healing even further at home.
In addition to Experiential Play Therapy, if talk-therapy is not your preferred mode of therapy and healing, I offer a few alternatives:
* I offer SAND TRAY THERAPY for all age groups, using the power of metaphor in the healing aspect of sand, to work through your emotional struggles. Words aren't necessary when you use a sand tray - the metaphor speak for themselves.
* I offer ART THERAPY options for individuals who prefer to tap their creative energies by using drawing, painting, creative artwork, and other forms of creative expression, in addition to or in replacement of talk therapy.
In order to accommodate the variety of children's sensory needs, I have a customized filter lighting system, for children who have light sensory sensitivity to fluorescent lighting. I also offer a white-noise atmosphere if they prefer it.
