My website

As a parent myself I understand that raising children can be challenging, and I am passionate about supporting families in realizing their full potential for love, growth and peaceful relationships. I use evidence based practices to facilitate empowerment, self-control and healing through play, artistic expression, and sandtray therapy. I specialize in work with children, adolescents, and their caregivers. I am currently serving on the Board of Directors for the Association for Play Therapy, and have previously served as President of the Texas Association for Play Therapy and Clinical Editor for Play Therapy Magazine.

I am especially skilled at working with children and adolescents as they navigate unique paths towards adulthood. I also have a special interest in attachment, giftedness, family communication, and neurodivergence.

Mandi is a dynamic international public speaker and has presented to thousands of caregivers and counseling professionals. Favorite topics include working with gifted children and families, technology and screen time, children and trauma, sandtray, play therapy, and expressive therapies.

I love working with children and adolescents, especially those who have a unique way of seeing the world. The research is clear that when working with kids, our best opportunities for growth are when caregivers are actively involved. Even if I work with your child one-on-one, we will come together for an adult or family session about once every four individual sessions.
