One of my favorite things to do is present and train about play and expressive therapies.  As part of my role as President of the Tennessee Association for Play Therapy (TNAPT), I present foundational play therapy trainings on behalf of TNAPT both at my office site or I can tailor a program for agencies or specific locations. These foundational trainings are approved by APT (Association for Play Therapy) for those seeking credentialing as a RPT, RPT-S or SB-RPT as well as for maintaining those credentials. These can be done in small group settings as well as large conferences.  Sometimes my role with TNAPT includes promotions about play therapy and APT/TNAPT and to help others both within and outside my profession understand play therapy and the value of play. 

     I also present outside of my TNAPT role on custom topics both regionally and nationally.  In 2019 I am scheduled to present in Georgia in March and Kentucky in August, in  addition to several trainings in Tennessee!  In the past these presentations have included topics in addition to play and creative arts therapies to include specific populations and issues such as child sexual abuse, divorce adjustments and other topics.   Listed below are several of the presentations I have done recently.  I can also adapt for a custom presentation subject and duration. 

    Near and especially dear to me is the growing utilization of nature in play therapy.  I am develping training in NaturePlay and will be presenting on this in November in Georgia!
