How to Create Your Sand Tray Miniature Collection

Best Ever Sand for Sand Tray Therapy

What Kind of Sand Tray Miniatures are Best

Hi, I'm Cathi!

I am dedicated to supporting child and adolescent mental health professionals in seamlessly integrating play therapy and expressive arts into their clinical practice.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Registered Play Therapist Supervisor, I bring extensive experience and expertise to guide mental health professionals using a neuroscience and attachment lens in their work with children, adolescents, and families.

With a deep understanding of the intricate nuances of therapeutic interventions, I authored "Attachment-Focused Family Play Therapy: An Intervention for Children and Adolescents After Trauma" providing invaluable insights for professionals in the field.

Beyond my professional endeavors, I am a proud mother of two amazing young adult men, a devoted wife, and a passionate dog mommy who finds solace and inspiration in nature and the great outdoors.

Join me on this enriching journey as we empower and uplift each other in the realm of child and adolescent mental health.
