"Play is the bridge that connects a child's inner world to the outer world." – Garry Landreth

I have over 15 years experience working with children in a variety of capacities. I have observed first hand how important play is and the depth of healing it brings. I discovered Play therapy while experiencing parenting challenges of my own and felt drawn to train in and provide this to children and families.
