Play therapy is a research-supported approach for children that uses play — rather than talk — as the primary mode of expression and healing. Children naturally communicate through play, and the therapist creates a safe, structured space where they can explore their experiences and emotions in that way. It is child-led and does not require children to articulate what they're feeling.

Not at all — most people don't. I'll get to know you first, and we'll figure out together what kind of support fits. The approach always follows the person, not the other way around.

The first session is simply a conversation. We'll talk about what brings you here, a bit about your background, and what you're hoping for. There's no pressure to have it all figured out — it's the beginning of something, not a test.

That's exactly why play therapy exists. Children don't need to talk through their feelings to benefit from therapy. Play is their natural language — and in the playroom, children can express and work through experiences without ever needing to put them into words.

Yes — parent involvement is an important part of the work. I'll check in with you regularly to share how things are going and to offer tools to support your child between sessions, while still protecting your child's sense of privacy in the room.

Yes. Everything shared in therapy is protected by strict confidentiality. There are limited exceptions required by law — such as imminent safety concerns — which I'll explain clearly at the start of our work together.

I ask for at least 24 hours notice to cancel or reschedule. Late cancellations or no-shows may be subject to a fee. Life happens — please reach out as early as possible and we'll do our best to work with you.
