I am passionate about allowing each person to enter therapy with their full personality and desire to foster and engage with their natural strengths. While normalizing that even as adults, we should play. I work with children with big feelings, teenagers who are navigating their place in this world, and adults who are looking for a unique, enjoyable approach to therapy.

"You are not a drop in the ocean, you are the entire ocean in a drop." Rumi's words are my view of therapy, connection and growth.  To me, therapy is about discovering resiliency and meeting goals.  My clients make lasting changes in their lives as they gain new understanding of their struggles and expand their vision of what is possible.  I love watching clients of all ages increase happiness in their lives.

I am excited to provide talk and play therapy to individuals of all ages! My ideal client is someone who is willing to come to session and work through the things they are experiencing; they have made it a goal to help themselves, and understand that doing this sometimes means asking other for help. This looks different for each person, and so I strive offer multiple different strategies to accommodate everyone. My areas of interest include anxiety, depression, masculinity and gender expression, and play-based therapy.

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.
