In the words of Dr. Zeiger: The longer I am in practice the humbler I become, recognizing I am an escort to my patients on a very personal journey of individuation. Carl Jung brought to the world a deep respect for the Soul to grow and heal itself given the right space and time. My approach is to partner with my patients to create a safe temenos (sacred place of therapy) for the work of healing and growth to occur. Sandplay is an excellent addition to the more traditional talking cure, allowing for rich symbolism that touches the non-verbal and pre-verbal aspects of our soul. 

Over the past three and half decades, I have worked with a breadth and depth of problems including depression, anxiety, abuse, ADHD, trauma, life issues, and spirituality. I have worked extensively with dreams and symbolic work. I am both appreciative and humbled by the power and creativity of the unconscious and the soul to help guide us in our path of individuation and healing.
