Clinical practice can feel isolating.
Working with children can be heavy.
One way to stay nourished is belonging to a warm, supportive community that knows. Welcome to Relational Embodied Play Therapy.
After more than two decades in social work, play therapy, and trauma-focused practice, I reached a turning point. What I had to offer was no longer just theory or technique, but an embodied way of being with children and with the therapists who sit alongside them.
I have spent thousands of hours in the playroom learning again and again that presence, regulation, and relationship create change. This is the foundation of my work in the playroom.
REPT is rooted in creating safe, nurturing spaces where children can communicate and process their experiences without the limitations of words.
WE FOCUS ON:
Relational Embodied Play Therapy
