Las Vegas Play Therapy

One whole year since Lexi started her official "job" at Las Vegas Play Therapy. She has touched so many lives. She is loved by everyone who meets her and witj her quiet upward, deep eyes looks, she shares her love right back.

Early on, when a client first met her, they said, "her middle name should be Love," to which I immediately agreed. Then I asked why, and was told, "Because that is the name of my favorite Drag Queen" 😆😅🤣

The name has stayed and she is pure love! Happy 1 year together, Lexi!

I love to learn and I love to travel. When I can combine them together, I feel so happy!

3 days in with INA International Academy for Play Therapy and Lisa Terni Dion and Clair Mellenthin Lcsw among other phenomenal speakers was enriching and thought provoking. One of the speakers shared the art work of children living in Gaza. I was moved to tears seeing the oain they carry within.

Clair widened my my perspective on Attachment and having "at least one secure Attachment 'birthday candle' (person)"

Lisa widened my perspective of Self, which is my deepest and most favorite topic these days in my learning. And, combining a wall and a bridge brought me a deeper understanding of my own FREEDOM!

Getting to hang out with, share meals, and laugh with Lisa and Clair, who are phenomenal women, and who were two of the first teachers who truly resonated with me in my play therapy training —and who are now friends—was an absolute delight!

Also, time with Shannon Macdonald Creme my business parter and our husband's and her daughter has been the whipped cream on all the Affogato I have eaten!

I so enjoyed learning from Dr David A Crenshaw at the INA International Academy for Play Therapy on our 1st day. His sharing about HOPE had filled me with, well, HOPE! What a wonderful day!

2 weeks ago, I hosted a big conference here in Las Vegas at the Southpoint. Lexi came on day one to greet the attendees and to open the conference. Her confidence in a crowd amazed me. We stood (she sat 😃) at the door as over 100 people came in. Many asked to meet her and she would check with me, then greet them. Then she came up on stage and was a hit!

The other thing that amazed me is she KNEW every person from our office and gave them extra greetings. Including a friend she has met twice. She is Lexi Love for sure!

I love this dog and feel so honored that she is my partner at work and my dog at home.
