Therapist Overview
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Registered Play Therapist. I provide services to children through adults using a variety of modalities from a Person/Child-Centered perspective. My goal is to help my clients gain new insights and develop strategies that will enable them to reach their optimal potential in a comfortable and nurturing environment. My experience base includes 10 years experience as a Special Education Teacher and 18 years as an Elementary School Counselor in the public school system. I welcome clients of all ages with my specialty being school age children. The foundation of my practice revolves around the importance of developing a safe and secure relationship with my clients in order to help them fully express and explore their feelings, thoughts, experiences, and behaviors, through play, sand and expressive arts. Why play? “Play is the child’s symbolic language of self-expression and can reveal (a) what the child has experienced; (b) reactions to what was experienced; (c) feelings about what was experienced; (d) what the child wishes, wants, or needs; and (e) the child’s perception of self.” ― Garry L. Landreth, Play Therapy: The Art of the Relationship
