It can be hard to know where to start when looking for support for your child. Olivia offers support by providing a safe space to explore all the big emotions your child may be feeling through therapeutic play. She will work with you and your child to develop skills to express those big emotions in healthy ways. Olivia believes that children and adults have the ability to grow and change in positive ways when experiencing a safe atmosphere and an authentic therapeutic relationship. She is passionate about seeing positive change in families as a whole and works to develop healthy connections between family members.
