Therapist Overview
I assist children, adolescents and their families in the journey of self-awareness. Children and adolescents are masters at showing us, or telling us, what their perceptions of their internal and external worlds are like. During play therapy, children create play or adolescents tell stories, that resemble the difficult experiences they are struggling with. The play or the conversation, becomes focused on the purposes of emotional healing. This leads to a reduction of symptoms (i.e. acting out and aggressive behaviors, somatic complaints, withdrawal or regression, etc.) and the reestablishment of balance in the child’s sense of well-being. When we have a “challenging” experience, we attempt to move away from the physical sensations, emotions and thoughts related to that experience. Neurobiology now shows us that in order for integration to occur, we must move towards the physical sensations, emotions and/or thoughts. I assist families in this process.
