I have worked with a variety of clients ages 16 - 100 that present with a variety of issues and concerns including but not limited to: trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar, mood disorders and substance abuse. Or, they may be dealing with communication issues, self-esteem or social anxiety problems.
I am integrative in my approach to therapy in that I utilize Person Centered, Solution Focused, Psychodynamic and Cognitive Behavioral Therapies to assist during the sessions; whatever feels appropriate. My treatment approach is based first, on developing a therapeutic relationship with the client that has its foundation in trust. I will also utilize your strengths to help you achieve your desired changes and treatment goals.

Having a third party HEAR both sides was very good. Sometimes we need to be reminded of how to speak or listen because we get so comfortable. Every time we spoke, we always felt more confident. It was easy to talk.

Sandra is a wonderful combination of personable and getting to the meat of the matter.
She puts you at ease as if you are talking to a wise friend. She listens without judgment and encourages you to answer your own questions and see things from a different angle. I am grateful I was led to her, and couldn’t be happier.

Written on May 12, 2021 after therapy with Sandra for 3 weeks on issues concerning self esteem
I loved working with Sandy, talking with her every week has been such a huge help! I had been struggling with my anxiety and stress for months, and after the first session with Sandy I felt like a weight was lifted off of my shoulders. From the start it felt like I was talking with a lifelong friend, which was such a huge relief as I have never worked with a therapist before and didn't know what to expect! I've discovered a few different stress management techniques since we've been meeting, and I feel like I've really worked through the main causes of my anxiety. I can truly say my life is better now that I've worked with Sandy!

Sandy is someone who values helping people. Every session I've had with her has proven to me that she is a counselor for all the right reasons. She is genuine, supportive, and relatable. I always look forward to hearing how she will bring perspective to things I'm struggling with. And, when there are days I feel like I'm not struggling with many things, I simply look forward to seeing her smile and talking to her about her day.
