(Registration number: 18111)

MACPT; Dip CPT; B.Ed.; Dip.Ed. Certified Learn to Play Practitioner. 

VIT (Registered Early Childhood Teacher)

Annamaria's interest in Play Therapy stems from 28 years of teaching in the Early Childhood Field.  Her knowledge and experience in child development and play development is extensive.  Over the years, Annamaria grew curious about the benefit of play through a therapeutic lens, soon embarking on a path in becoming a Registered Play Therapist.  Annamaria works closely with families in helping them understand how young children's brains develop and she also supports families in gaining a better understanding of their child and how they are making sense of their world.

Annamaria believes that every child has a right to feel safe, loved and understood; she strives to provide an environment where children can begin to heal and process the emotional challenges they are experiencing through therapeutic play. At her core, Annamaria believes building a relationship of trust and safety is foundational in empowering children to trust in themselves and in doing so feel more confident in themselves and strengthen their resilience.
