I value the healing power of the therapeutic relationship in the process of play therapy. My approach is to create a warm and safe environment that allows for connection and trust to develop. My overarching goal is to help the child find empowerment and healing through finding connection with themselves and to help the parent/guardian deepen the relationship with their child.
