About

As a parent or caregiver, it can be painful to watch and hard to know what your child needs most. Oftentimes what looks like defiance, aggression, or emotional outbursts is really a child’s way of showing that their system is overwhelmed. Play therapy creates a space where children can express themselves safely, work through what is beneath the behaviour, and build the ability to feel more settled and in control. Caregivers are an important part of this process, and I work to help parents better understand their child’s emotional world so healing and regulation can be supported both in and outside the therapy room.
