Sandplay Therapists in Tucson, AZ
I provide a range of services that include playtherapy and sandplay work.
I provide child therapy services that are tailored to the specific needs of your child with a minimum age of 3 years old. Therapy with children can look quite differently from adult therapy, since kids are usually not able to put words to their feelings in the same way adults do. Kids will usually engage in play and creative activities such as art work and sandplay. Therapy is more focused on the right-brain rather than logic and reasoning by giving the space for your child to engage in creative activities. As parents you play a vital role in your child's life and I can help you with additional parenting ideas that may help.

In my 18 years of practicing therapy, I have found that helping people discover their strengths and self worth, without judgement, can be powerful. I'd like to extend that opportunity for you to experience and achieve a fulfilling life that you deserve.

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.
