ABOUT

Hi, I’m Tammy — a Child-Centered Play Therapist who believes deeply in the healing power of play. My office is more than a room with toys; it’s a safe, nurturing space where children are invited to show up exactly as they are. Here, they don’t have to perform, behave, or please. They simply get to be — and in that freedom, healing begins.

I specialize in helping children discover their inner strengths, express their emotions, and reconnect with who they truly are through play and expressive arts. I trust fully in each child’s innate capacity for growth, and I see my role as walking alongside them with acceptance, presence, and unconditional positive regard.

My work extends beyond the playroom. I believe healing is most powerful when parents and caregivers feel supported, informed, and connected. That’s why I partner with parents as a collaborative team — offering guidance, insights, and encouragement as we work together to support their child's emotional well-being.

Every child has a story. Every family has a journey. I’m honored to be part of both.
