Summary

Dedicated and empathetic Clinical Mental Health graduate with a specialization in play therapy for children and adolescents aged 18 and below. My commitment to fostering a safe and empathetic therapeutic environment allows me to effectively connect with children, fostering trust and providing a platform for expression through play. My approach is characterized by a deep respect for the individuality of each child, recognizing the importance of their autonomy in the therapeutic process. I am adept at creating a supportive space where children feel empowered to explore and articulate their emotions, using play as a powerful medium for communication and healing. Having gained valuable experience throughout my graduate program, I have honed my skills in assessment, intervention planning, and ongoing evaluation. I am eager to leverage my education, skills, and passion for working with children to navigate life's challenges and contribute to the field of mental health.
