I believe that a person is a whole being, with a mind, a body, and a spirit, and that often we are challenged in the balance and wellness of these parts of us. Every one of us encounters challenges and endures hardships throughout our lives that may upend the different parts of us that make us feel well and whole. Although we share this fundamental human experience, no one person’s journey to find this balance again is exactly the same and in therapy we will gently and compassionately work towards you rediscovering your own footing.

Struggling with a compulsive, values-incongruent behavior? You can find freedom, intimacy, and healthy sexuality- (which can include kinky fun) through hard work. Based on current data, research shows that 10.3% of men and 7% of women experience distress from uncontrolled sexual urges. Typically, many begin experiencing issues in adolescence but do not seek help until their mid-30s. My clients are likely to have faced significant consequences in relationships, career, and health, often feeling shame or guilt.

Exploration can occur in sandplay, art & meditation.
For three decades I have been meeting with individuals and groups to generate the process of healing restorative change. Relationally dynamic, I learn of you, with you. This process is ever changing and yet maintains a reliable constancy. It's compelling to be part of a process in which people, even after great hurt and disappointment, can safely access their vulnerability and regain courage. In time this enables them to become intimate with themselves and those they love, and pursue their own dreams. I'm receptive to the diversity of our human experience, have expertise with LGBTQIA and invested in decolonizing therapy.

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.
