I provide play therapy for children in Chilliwack, using a holistic and integrative approach tailored to meet the unique needs of each child. My practice is grounded in child-centered play therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness-based strategies, all enriched by insights from developmental and attachment theories.
I believe in the significant impact of play and environmental factors on a child’s mental health and use a collaborative, strengths-based approach in my sessions. To ensure that therapy is accessible and convenient, I offer flexible appointment times and the option for both in-person sessions at our Chilliwack clinic or virtual consultations for those who prefer this approach.
