Services
for Children and Youth
“ Supporting children and the adults that care for
them ”
I work with children and youth of all ages, using both experiential
play therapy and psychotherapy (gestalt, EMDR and expressive art
therapy). I serve to support the creative and innate wisdom in children
and youth, while helping parents understand their child’s
behavior and where it comes from. I specialize in the following
areas:
• Highly gifted and Sensitive
children
• The transition into adolescence
• Social and emotional issues
• Elementary, Middle and High
School Girls Groups
Experiential Play Therapy
What is Experiential Play Therapy?
Experiential Play Therapy, developed by Dr. Byron and Carol Norton,
is a therapeutic process that allows children to explore their feelings,
emotions and behaviors in a safe and trusting environment. It is
through play that children express themselves. They play out their
anger, fear, sadness, and frustration, emotions which are often
times affecting their behavior. Younger children express themselves
non-verbally, by attaching metaphoric and symbolic meaning to the
toys they choose to play with.
Parents are involved in the therapeutic process on a regular basis
and will work together with the therapist to develop activities
in the child’s daily life that will help support their social
and emotional needs.
Experiential Play therapy is an effective therapy for children who
are experiencing the following:
• Divorce or separation
• Transition (i.e. a new sibling,
new school, a move)
• Death or loss
• Trauma (physical, emotional,
birth trauma)
• Social and emotional challenges
• Adoption
