Play Therapy Training & Continuing Education
I provide play therapy training for mental health professionals who want to develop or strengthen their clinical work with children. Trainings are developmentally informed, relationship-centered, and designed to connect play therapy theory with practical clinical application.
Training opportunities are appropriate for clinicians who are beginning their development in play therapy, working toward the Registered Play Therapist (RPT) or School-Based Registered Play Therapist (SB-RPT) credential, or seeking continued professional development beyond credentialing.
My primary orientation is Child-Centered Play Therapy (CCPT), with additional attention to child development, trauma-informed practice, therapeutic relationships, and the clinical processes that support effective play therapy.

Training Standards & Continuing Education
I am an Association for Play Therapy Approved Provider (APT Approved Provider 25-772) and a National Board for Certified Counselors Approved Continuing Education Provider (ACEP 7781).
Play therapy trainings include clearly defined learning objectives, structured educational content, and documentation of continuing education hours. Applicable trainings may provide play therapy education hours for clinicians working toward the Registered Play Therapist (RPT) or School-Based Registered Play Therapist (SB-RPT) credential.
Each training description identifies the continuing education hours offered, the content areas addressed, and any applicable credentialing information. Participants are responsible for confirming that a training meets the requirements applicable to their individual credentialing or professional development needs.
A Relational & Experiential Learning Environment
My trainings are experiential, relational, and reflective. I believe meaningful learning occurs in a supportive environment where participants feel safe to ask questions, share experiences, and explore both the emotional and practical realities of working with children.
Whether you are beginning your play therapy journey or seeking to deepen and refresh your practice, trainings are designed to help you feel connected—to the material, to your clients, and to yourself as a clinician.
Available Play Therapy Trainings
Play therapy trainings are offered on topics related to Child-Centered Play Therapy, child development, therapeutic relationships, clinical skill development, and other areas relevant to effective play therapy practice. Trainings range from foundational learning opportunities for clinicians beginning their development in play therapy to more focused opportunities for clinicians seeking continued professional growth.
Each training includes information about the intended audience, learning objectives, continuing education hours, and applicable play therapy education hours.
