Presentations and Trainings...
Play Therapy "Fun"damentals! Adults can play too!
One of my favorite things to do is present and train about play and expressive therapies- including Sandtray! I present foundational play therapy trainings for TNAPT locally, but I can also tailor a program for agencies or specific locations and can go on the road as requested to bring play therapy training to you!
In 2019 I have so far presented in Atlanta in March on "Sandtray Basics for Ind, Famiy and Play Therapy" and will present this again in Somerset, KY in August. I have also presented this year for Agape in Nashville, the annual TCSW Conference in Brentwood, the TLPC conference in Nashville, for Centerstone, and the upcoming CHildren's Justice Conference in Murfreesboro, as well as several trainings for TNAPT. I have other trainings scheduled throughout Tennessee this year as well. I am also including more Nature Play Therapy presentations this year!
I was very excited and honored to be present in England in June on "Play Therapy with Children of Divorce" as part of Dr. Charles Schaefer's International Play Therapy Study Group at Wroxton. Meeting and collaborating with play therapists from around the world was one of the most fulfilling things I have ever experienced.
