Cathy will work with patients to create a supportive environment where they can explore their emotions and work towards healing and growth.

Play therapy is a wonderful option for children who have difficulty expressing themselves through traditional talk therapy. Cathy offers a kid-friendly atmosphere complete with a play therapy room.
