The Sandtray Corner

The Sandtray Corner Therapists exploring the power of sandtray therapy with clients of all ages! Hi! I'm a clinical social worker and play therapist in the Kansas City metro.

I was first introduced to sandtray therapy when I was an intern therapist in 2016, and have been offering sandtray therapy in my practice ever since. I have implemented sandtray therapy with clients of many ages and backgrounds, and continue to be amazed at the power it has to transcend the cognitive process, engage the creative side of the brain, and help people understand themselves on a deeper

level. I am the owner of Hope Esperanza Counseling, LLC. I am bilingual in English and Spanish and specialize in perinatal mental health, trauma, and depression/anxiety. Although I'm a play therapist, I often find my spark when working with teens and adults, often weaving in the sandtray or other experiential techniques.

Some of the most powerful sandtray therapy sessions I have conducted throughout my career have been with teens and adults. Therapists without a background in play therapy might automatically assume sand and miniatures are for child sessions. In reality, sandtray therapy might just be the perfect companion to other therapeutic modalities in the right situation. Sandtray therapy is another tool that can be pulled out to help some clients get closer to their goals.
Here are just a few reasons why I love using sandtray with teens and adults!
