Sand Tray Therapy

Sand tray therapy allows individuals to build their world using miniatures and sand. This experiential technique is helpful for all ages to visualize aspects of their current situation they may not have considered otherwise.

Sand tray therapy is a therapeutic modality that utilizes a tray filled with sand and a collection of miniature objects to create a visual representation of an individual's inner world. This powerful and non-verbal approach allows clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a safe and symbolic way. It allows for a more experimental and symbolic form of communication offering a different perspective and facilitating self-discovery.

I have received a great deal of training in sandtray therapy and use it frequently in my work with clients.

In sandtray therapy we make use of objects that can help us externalize what is going on inside. What this looks like is a small box of sand placed in front of you. At the very minimum, you can run your hands through it- touching and playing with sand can calm your nervous system and help you open up more. If you'd like, there are also miniature figurines that you can select and place in the sand to tell your story. It may sound odd at first, but I promise it is an amazing addition to therapy.

Sand tray is taking figurines and placing them in a tray in a way that feels right to the client. There is valuable information that can immerge from the types of figurines, and the placement that can help indicate areas that need healing in a client. Together, Aimee works with the client to address the topics brought up in the sand tray.

For kids and adults! We will explore your inner world, what is just below the surface of your consciousness, and bring to light what’s been here all along. Sometimes we need to get out of our analytical thinking mind and into our imagination to explore symbolism and see and feel how our patterns and mechanical ways of thinking and being impact us on a daily basis. Sandtray is a fun creative way to get distance between ourselves and the heavy gunk we’ve been lugging around in our psyches.

I have participated in many trainings in sand tray therapy in the past and currently have a membership in an ongoing training community of sandtray therapists for continued education.
