As a play therapist, my passion is to help children express their needs, wants and conflicts with themselves and their families using toys and miniatures as their language. 

Sandtray therapy is a technique using miniatures and objects to build scenes.

Play therapy and sandtray are used for all ages to assist in increasing emotional health.

Play therapy reduces the anxiety and the difficulty of expressing their deepest feeling.

Providing toys to children, the therapist givet them the tools they need to express their feelings.
