Presentations and Trainings...
One of my favorite things to do is present and train about play and expressive therapies- including Sandtray and especially Nature Play Therapy. I have often presented 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!
I have been grateful that 2022 brought a return to in-person trainings. So far this year I have presented in Columbus, Ohio; Lake Moher, Vermont; and Arlington, VA; as well as here in Middle Tennessee. Later this summer I will be presenting in Memphis and this fall I get to present in KY. I am also continuing to provide virtual trainings upon request as well.

And Brand New!
I am excited to annouce that last fall I began guiding Therapist Self-Care Retreats. My first one was held in Gatlinburg, TN! We need these types of nourishing and healing experiences more than ever- as we cannot give what we do not have. Future retreats can be adapted for teachers, caregivers, parents and more. Just email me!
