Sand Therapy
In Marin County, California & online for California Residents
Sand therapy is a sensory and grounding method that invites you to construct your story using miniature figures in a specialized sandtray.
The scene you create becomes a symbolic reflection of your life’s issues and provides a container to resolve conflicts, remove obstacles, and gain self-awareness.
Sandtray is a uniquely powerful method for all ages and has to be experienced to fully understand its benefits. All that is required is the courage to get out of your head, drop into your body, descend into the depths of your psyche, and be open to its mysteries. You and I are working together–me as the witness and you as your own therapist. I will guide you as you interpret the tray’s messages that unfold, connecting your inner and outer worlds.
Sand therapy allows you to:
Discover a pathway deeper into self discovery and expression
Integrate the right and left brain
Experience verbal and non verbal processing
Fully inhabit your body while "playing" in the tray
Access a deeper part of self and “go someplace else”
Be seen and witnessed and know your story is not just in your imagination
Track sensations happening in your body
Activate your senses, emotions, and creativity
Gain deep awareness of your inner world
Know that your needs and desires are not dependent only on words
Unlock what is stuck and express the unexpressed
Surprise yourself with new meaning and insights
Uncover and unearth core truths about yourself
Find balance between effort and ease
Explore the space between no more and not yet
Some types of therapy are about pulling things apart. Sandtray is about putting them together.
