I thought it was just me. This is the statement I hear frequently. I am here to help you realize that you are unique and the challenges you face are yours AND you do not have to face them alone. Too often our fears, our shame, our uncertainty hold us back from healing and asking for help. There is no struggle too big or too small to tackle alone. We are all perfectly imperfect and my goal is to help you embrace the parts of you that you would rather keep tucked away, heal from the stories you do not dare share with anyone, and use your life to create something beautiful.

Healing comes from an intentional choice and giving yourself permission to take that choice. Seeking help is the first, and bravest, choice we can make. I would love to be part of this new healing journey you will embark on. When a client steps into my office I want them to have access to the journey that is within them. A place for a child to explore a world using toys and play for words, for teens to come, kick their feet up, and become the author of their own story, and for adults to create a healing narrative that is one of laughter, expression, and adventure.

Sandplay Therapists

What problems are best treated with sandplay therapy?

Research has examined this therapy’s utility in young people and found positive results. It has been shown to be useful for those who suffer from autism, attention deficit disorder, anxiety, and or aggressive behavior. Children who have suffered abuse, neglect, or trauma have also seen improvement through this therapy. Abused children are often fearful and anxious about their safety, making verbal communication more difficult.

Is sandplay therapy suitable for children and teenagers?

Children and adolescents are good candidates for sandplay therapy. Many kids and teens are often unable to form and communicate their thoughts, let alone the emotions they are experiencing. Through this play therapy, they will hopefully make connections between what they feel inside and how the world works outside.

Is sandplay suitable for adults?

This type of therapy can be useful for adults who have difficulties expressing themselves. People who have suffered neurological changes after a brain injury or because of a traumatic event might be good candidates for this therapy. In fact, anything that has had an effect on the brain, such as substance abuse, can make non-verbal sandplay a valuable option.

Does sandplay therapy work?

There have been studies on the effectiveness of sandplay therapy, and it appears to improve difficult behaviors in children. It may also enhance self-esteem and lessen feelings of physical anxiety as well as hypersensitivity. This type of therapy is based on non-verbal communication and may feel less threatening to the individual.
