The coolest thing about art therapy is that it's uniquely accessible. People of any age, ability, and social background can benefit from this approach. I say that because I whole-heartedly believe people are born curious, creative, and playful. It's as natural as the breath.

As a therapist, I strive to create a non-judgmental space where my clients can freely express themselves and deepen their understanding of who they are and what they wish for. I view therapy as a collaborative journey where therapist and client (maybe you and I!) can build a genuine, trusting partnership that facilitates exploration, understanding, self expression and most importantly self compassion. I work with adults, adolescents and children struggling to navigate a wide variety of experiences and diagnoses.

Life gets really hard these days. There is so much stress and there are so many expectations to deal with. From having perfect children to being the perfect parent, some days it is all too much. And it feels impossible. The weight of our own guilt, anxiety, or depression that stems from not feeling adequate, or from family difficulties can leave us drained.

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.
