Nurturing Children Through Play, Supporting Adults Through Trauma Healing

Supporting children and teens through life’s challenges while helping parents and adults heal from deep emotional wounds and trauma.

I provide child-centered play, sand tray, and art therapy for children, and trauma-informed counseling for adults seeking to heal, feel understood, and move forward with greater resilience.

    Hi, my name is Valentina Smith

I create a safe and warm space where children and teens can express themselves through play, art, and sand tray therapy, helping them process their worlds in their own natural language. For my adult clients, I offer compassionate trauma-informed guidance to help you navigate heavy experiences, reclaim your confidence, and find a renewed sense of peace.
