Sandplay Therapy For Adults

Sandplay is an effective psychotherapy for working with clients of all ages, from young children to mature adults, on issues stemming from trauma, depression, and anxiety.  Sandplay allows for healing with clients who struggle to verbalize their wounding and those who struggle to stop talking and drop down into themselves.   

Often the hands will solve a mystery that the intellect has struggled with in vain. - Carl Jung

Sandplay therapy was founded by Dora Kalff, a Jungian psychoanalyst, and is rooted in play therapy, Jungian psychology, and Buddhist philosophy.  Sandplay is a non-directive and low-verbal, experiential process that aims to tap into areas of the psyche that talking cannot access using symbolic expression in a safe and protective space in order to facilitate a transformative process of healing.
