🌟 What does being a play therapist mean to you?
"Being a play therapist means creating a safe space where children feel seen, valued, and supported just as they are, using their language of play."

🎨 What are your favorite play interventions?
"I love using sand tray, art, and music to help kids process emotions and express themselves. I also enjoy when they share their favorite video game characters—it's a window into their world."

💫 How do you stay playful?
"I stay playful by collecting stickers and never skipping a trip through the toy aisle—it keeps me connected to fun and wonder!"

We are so grateful to have Paige as a member of OKAPT! Her passion for play therapy and creativity shines through in everything she does. 🙌💖
