Sandplay Therapists in 32789

When we or a loved one face challenges, sadness, anger, addiction, or anxiety, counseling helps us explore our beliefs and feelings enabling healing and making change possible. I work with diverse communities, adults, and children, with anxiety, depression, and traumatic experiences. One method that helps is Sandplay Therapy. Using miniatures and a sand tray, offers a deeply personal way to explore one's inner world, akin to 'waking dreams.' It facilitates profound self-discovery and healing for all ages. Children express themselves through play, and both adolescents and adults gain significant insights and transformation.

I make it a priority to acknowledge the strengths & resiliencies you already have & individualize my approach because healing doesn't feel the same for everyone. I believe that every person deserves to feel seen and heard-- let's create a healing path that feels right for you. There's no better time to make yourself a priority
