Dr. Stuart Brown spent his life researching the value of play across the lifespan. He found that there are 8 different ways we all engage in play - yes, even adults! According to his Play Personalities, I am:
• The Joker: I love to make people laugh and use humor to connect with others.
• The Collector: I am eager to gain a vast array of experiences (like going concerts and training), but I also collect unqiue rocks and crystals.
FUN FACTS ABOUT ME:

About Emily
Hello! I have being working with children for many years and brings a genuine passion for others, a great sense of humor, and a curious mind to my work as a play therapist in training. I am passionate about providing affirming mental health care for neurodivergent children and their families. I would be great fit for a child or pre-teen struggling with anxiety, depression, anger, and adjustment concerns.
I have been working in the mental health field with children since 2019 and have loved it ever since. I have my master’s in Clinical Counseling from Wright State University. I previously worked in community mental health and most recently worked as a behavior therapist with Autism Spectrum Disorder. I interned at Dayton Children’s Hospital as a mental health therapist in the Behavioral Health Inpatient Unit and here at Wired to Bloom. In 2024, I will begin my training in EMDR and will incorporate this into my work with children. I am also pursuing training in AutPlay®, a neurodiversity affirming framework for implementing play therapy to address the mental health needs for neurodivergent youth.
