Trisha works with kids in a deep way, helping them to soothe their fears, anxieties, and anger. She helps them build skills to assist them on their journey of growing up. Her work with teens is also profound. She knows how to connect, and assist them as they deal with the many twists and turns of the teen years. Trisha is very skilled in her work with adults and conveys concepts in ways that are enlightening and healing on their journeys as well.

My son gets excited to go to play therapy. He feels a sense of relief when he comes out of his session. Trisha is very caring and not afraid to play with the kids. —Cheantara
