About

As a Registered Play Therapist Supervisor (RPT-S) and Registered Sandplay Practitioner (RSP) with the Sandplay Therapists of America, Sol Therapy in La Mesa Village on La Mesa Boulevard delivers Jungian depth psychology and expressive arts therapy in English, Portuguese, and Spanish. The practice's holistic trauma framework addresses unconscious attachment wounds through modalities including sandplay, SoulCollage®, and therapeutic art that run complementary to somatic wellness work at Full Circle Acupuncture & Wellness for patients integrating body-based healing alongside depth psychotherapy. Clinical methodology draws from Jungian analytical psychology, attachment theory, EMDR, Internal Family Systems, and Gestalt to surface pre-verbal and unconscious material through symbolic play rather than cognitive processing alone. A Psychosocial Oncology Certificate through the American Psychosocial Oncology Society (APOS) positions the practice to support cancer patients, survivors, and caregivers navigating grief, treatment anxiety, and identity shifts, and stress-driven bruxism in this high-distress patient population connects clinical work to craniofacial screening at TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre of San Diego on Fletcher Parkway. The practice's most specialized clinical track deploys Jungian sandplay therapy using miniature-figure constellations in a defined sand tray to externalize unconscious trauma narratives, requiring RPT-S-level supervision credentials and adherence to Sandplay Therapists of America protocols.
