At Connected Hearts Play Therapy, we believe that play is the natural language of children and provides the best opportunity for emotional and psychological healing to occur. We create a safe and nurturing environment where children can express themselves freely and without judgement. Our goal is to empower children to take control of their own healing journey, and equip parents and caregivers with the tools and resources they need to support their child's ongoing healing.

Katie brings a unique perspective to play therapy, combining her 10 years of experience as a teacher with the deep understanding of a neurodivergent parent. As a local Dandenong Ranges resident and final-year Master's student in Child Play Therapy at Deakin University, Katie is passionate about supporting children and uncovering their stories.
Working with diverse backgrounds and cultures in the classroom ignited a desire to go beyond academics and truly connect with children. Play therapy offered that bridge. It allows Katie to be fully present, create a safe space, and support children on their individual journeys – whether they need healing, safety, or social-emotional guidance.
Katie believes in the power of relationships. She sees success stemming from a strong, collaborative partnership with everyone in a child's life. She ensures transparency, authenticity and conducts herself with the utmost care and respect for the child and family.
