Ever feel like the biggest things you’re processing don’t actually have words? 🛋️✨

I spent this past weekend diving deep into an incredible training on Sand Tray Play Therapy and I am so excited to bring more of this powerful modality to the practice!

Our deepest emotions and stressors are often stored where talk therapy can’t easily reach. When a client—child, teen, or adult—steps up to the tray, they use miniatures to build a 3D picture of their inner world.

Why it works:

✨No words needed:You don’t have to explain your overwhelm; you can just show it.
✨Safe distance: Looking at a problem in the sand makes it manageable to explore, shift, and heal.
✨Deep processing: The sensory act of moving sand helps unlock and resolve subconscious stress.

Healing doesn’t always happen in a straight line, and it doesn’t always require a speech. Sometimes, it just takes a tray of sand. ⏳🌱

Play room things! ☀️ 🤩 🌈

It’s a busy week at Shiver Therapy! 🎉

“Play is the child’s symbolic language of self-expression and can reveal (a) what the child has experienced; (b) reactions to what was experienced; (c) feelings about what was experienced; (d) what the child wishes, wants, or needs; and (e) the child’s perception of self.”

Protecting children when families change. 💖

The “Children’s Bill of Rights in a Divorce,” authored by Dr. Robert Emery, is an essential guide for ensuring children’s well-being during difficult times. This list reminds us of what children need most from us, such as:

📜 **The right to love and be loved by both parents** without guilt or disapproval.
📜 **The right to be protected** from their parents’ anger with each other.
📜 **The right not to choose** one parent over the other or pick sides.
📜 And ultimately: **The right to be a kid.**

Let’s work together to provide a supportive environment for our children, keeping their needs at the heart of our decisions.

Check out the full list in the photo above. 👆

365 Days of Shiver Therapy: Built from the Ground Up 🥂✨

Today marks one year since I opened the doors to Shiver Therapy, and it has been a year of wearing every single hat imaginable.

Running a practice on my own means the work doesn’t end when the session does. Behind the scenes of every breakthrough and every therapy session, I am:
* The Clinical Lead: Drafting HIPAA-compliant notes and customized treatment plans.
* The Business Manager: Handling all invoicing and bookkeeping.
* The Tech Support: Ensuring our digital and physical spaces are safe, secure, and welcoming.
* The Marketing Team: 😅

Choosing the “solopreneur” path allows me the freedom to provide deeply personalized, high-level care with each client. It’s a lot of work, but when I look back at the girl in these photos, I know she’d be incredibly proud of the sanctuary we’ve built this year.

Thank you to every family and individual who has trusted Shiver Therapy during our first year. Here’s to many more! 💖

Huge thanks to my family and friends who have helped in so many ways. And to for her wisdom and taking me in as her roomie! To for her mentorship and and for walking this path with me!
