I desire a safe place for others to find hope, healing and transformation. I am a nurturer at heart and love to help those who are deeply wounded. I am known for my authenticity, sensitivity and insight. I believe that healing occurs when a safe relationship is formed with someone who can lead you to the vulnerable places of the heart. It is there that healing happens and hope and purpose begins to blossom. My heart is to see brokenness, and pain transformed into a new life of healing, joy and healthy relationships.

Or be like the ones who just got off-track in life, but were able to get refocused on their path. Or the folks with personal trauma who dive deeper with Brainspotting. Or be like those who use Art Therapy or SandTray Therapy to express themselves and thus, grow a level of self-respect that everyone can see, and appreciate.

Have you “tried everything” including talk therapy and it’s “helped a little.” Do you feel like you’re stuck in a pattern you can’t seem to change on your own? Is a transformation too much to ask for? It’s not! I’ve seen it happen many times! You need someone to help you map out a plan to a better life and not just give you breathing techniques! Are you willing to try brainspotting therapy? It evolved from EMDR and it’s often a game changer. I’m a certified Brainspotting trauma therapist that often combines cognitive behavioral therapy, internal family systems and solution focused therapy with brainspotting principles.

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.
