Play as a path to emotional wellbeing
Play is childhood's natural language. Through it, children tell us what they can't say in words — and find their own solutions.
What is play therapy?
Play therapy is a therapeutic modality where play becomes the primary tool for communication and healing. Children can't always verbalize what they feel, but they can show it through symbolic play.
In my sessions, the office transforms into a space full of carefully selected materials: dolls, sand, paints, blocks, puppets, and board games. Each material has a therapeutic purpose.
I'm not the one directing the play — the child sets the pace. My role is to accompany, observe, and facilitate emotional exploration in a safe way.
Situations where play therapy helps
- Difficulty expressing emotions verbally
- Separation anxiety or intense fears
- Difficult transitions (new sibling, school change)
- Aggressive or oppositional behaviors
- Grief and loss
- Traumatic experiences
- Socialization challenges
My approach to play therapy
I integrate play therapy with a narrative approach. This means that, in addition to playing, I help the child build a story about what they're experiencing — a story where the problem doesn't define who they are, but something they can face.
Sessions last 45 minutes. I work with children ages 4 to 12, and always include parental guidance as a fundamental part of the process.
