Jungian Sandplay Therapy
In addition to traditional talk therapy and EMDR, I am also trained in sandplay therapy, a Jungian and symbolic style of therapy that allows clients to tap into unconscious processing and deeper levels of awareness.
If the idea of sitting on a couch and opening up with talk therapy sounds difficult, sandplay might be a great fit for you. It is highly effective for those coping with trauma, spiritual blockages or limitations felt in the traditional talk therapy realm, existential issues such as grappling with freedom, aging, or the end of an era, or patterned interpersonal issues that might be clarified by taking a "deeper look"…to name just a few.
Sandplay is a bridging of the outer world, through objects, with your inner world - even, and often, parts of your inner world that may be unbeknownst to you. It is a portal to your unconscious that can be challenging to access with words alone.
Sandplay is also great for creative types, and conversely, those who feel they are "too in their head" or overly analytical. It can also be an incredible aid for those hoping to deepen their spirituality or awaken this area of their life. Over the years, my most skeptical clients have often become the biggest fans of this modality!
I believe in this style of therapy wholeheartedly. Although I am someone who deeply believes in and values talk therapy, it simply isn’t always enough to get us to the depths of our spirit.
