About me

As a licensed therapist in Indiana, Mississipp, New Jersey and Virginia, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients address depression, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions with compassion and expertise. I have extensive experience working with diverse populations, particularly focusing on self-esteem, communication challenges, social anxiety, interpersonal relationships, and multicultural concerns.

My therapeutic approach is deeply rooted in understanding individual experiences, especially for those facing isolation, workplace stress, and interpersonal dynamics. I am committed to creating a supportive environment where clients can explore personal growth, heal from past experiences, and develop meaningful strategies for emotional well-being.

I bring a nuanced perspective to therapy, recognizing the unique intersections of personal identity, cultural background, and individual challenges. My goal is to empower clients to cultivate self-love, navigate life changes, and build resilient, authentic connections with themselves and others.

Ms. Sanders is a lovely therapist. She listens to me and makes me comfortable to be myself and honest. She’s friendly and very kind. She’s helped me with negative thoughts and showed me skills I’ll keep forever.

I love to work with Edna because she not only listens, but shares relevant experiential input. She asks questions when my meaning is ambiguous or unclear and is very encouraging about the things that are going well in my life, reminding me that the light always overpowers any darkness there may be.
