About Sandtray Therapy

Picture

Sandtray therapy is a powerful and active technique for the exploration of the inner world of imagery, emotion and symbols.  The creative process is engaged utilizing a tray of wet or dry sand and a large collection of figurines and other objects.  The client crafts scenes by moving the sand and selecting and placing items that carry personal or metaphorical  meaning.  The creation of the tray can become touchstone or a map of the therapeutic journey.
