Child & Play Therapy

Children work things out through play long before they can say them. I use structured, trauma-informed play with kids facing worry, a family coming apart, a death, or something frightening early on.

What you get from me

  • Worry, fears and not wanting school
  • Big emotions that need taming
  • Splitting up, starting over, and step-families finding their feet
  • Losing someone they love
  • Gentle work on early trauma
  • Kids growing up in two cultures

How it works

  1. STEP 1
    Parent consult

    I start with the parents alone: what happened, what worries you, what you want.

  2. STEP 2
    Child sessions

    Through play, at their age, at their speed.

  3. STEP 3
    Parent updates

    I check in with parents regularly and send you home with something workable.

Frequently asked

How old should my child be?

Around five to twelve. Teenagers do better in one-to-one therapy.

Does play therapy work over video?

Play works best in the same room, so Boca Raton for most. Some video for older children.
