I became a therapist because I want to join with clients as they heal from pain and trauma. People need support for many reasons, some relatively simple and some so complicated as to seem unbearable. Psychotherapy is not only for people with severe illnesses or trauma but for people who feel stuck with their relationships, their careers, their friendships or have experiences that have a major impact on their daily lives and functioning.

My ideal client might be someone who is struggling with grief or need support for their emotional needs. They might come to me wanting to feel lighter in this world or learn how to manage the dark days. These are generally people suffering from depression-like symptoms. Sometimes, you need an empathetic person on your side to navigate you through your journey.

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.
