“Deep meaning lies often
in childish play.”
-Johann Friedrich von Schille, German poet
Child Therapy and Behavioral Consultation
“To reach kids, it’s important to learn their language. Psychologists specializing in child therapy have long recognized the important role imagination and play have in helping children organize their behavior and make sense of their experiences. For this reason, I maintain a separate child-centered therapy room dedicated to providing a space for kids to cope with change and regulate their behavior and emotions.”
