Play Therapy Across The Life Span

Play is a universal system of language. Play can be used when the words are not there. I have seen how powerful play can be in helping people process, no matter the age.

“You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than a year of conversation” – Plato

I use different creative techniques: play, art, digital gaming, sand, and humor as tools to help make the environment more comfortable for my clients to share and then heal.

Play allows us to get back in touch with our true self (or inner child, if you like.) I am trained and experienced in helping you navigate this new path.

Message from Marie:

I believe that EVERYONE has the ability to be successful no matter your past or present. I had many struggles growing up. Growing up, loss and death was a common occurrence in my life and as a result, I struggled with my emotions. It was in high school that I began working with a counselor. It was my work with her that I felt heard and validated. That is when I decided that I wanted to give that to others.

I have been working in this field since 2013. I originally set out to work with teenagers, as time went on, I began expanding my scope. I now work with all ages of the family system: (children, school aged, parents and couples). I specialize in Play Therapy, trauma, depression and anxiety. Play Therapy is an awesome tool for communication that can be used in a multitude of areas.

I truly enjoy what I do. I believe in the therapeutic relationship and how it can heal. I am an advocate of Mental Health for everyone. Mental Health is just as important as our Physical Health. Mental Health needs a spotlight in mainstream media and our everyday lives. Taking care of ourselves (mentally, physically, and spiritually) needs to be a top priority in our lives.
