Sandtray Therapy
Sometimes what we can't say, we can show. Sandtray therapy offers a different way to explore your inner world—without needing to find the right words.
Beyond Words
Talk therapy isn't for everyone—and even when it helps, some experiences are hard to put into words. Trauma, complex emotions, and deeply held beliefs often live below conscious awareness.
In sandtray therapy, you create scenes in a tray of sand using miniature figures and objects. It sounds simple, but the process can surface insights, release emotions, and facilitate healing in ways that talk therapy alone sometimes can't.
This isn't about artistic skill or "doing it right." It's about giving your unconscious mind a language to speak.
