About Sandra
With 18 years of experience, Sandra draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to support people through abandonment wounds, codependency, communication problems, and family of origin issues. She helps clients facing divorce, blended family challenges, infidelity, and the emotional fallout of natural or human-caused disaster.
Her style is warm, collaborative, and straightforward. Sandra helps people notice patterns in thoughts and behavior, strengthen coping skills, and set achievable goals. She also addresses feelings of emptiness, guilt, shame, impulsivity, isolation, and loneliness in clear, practical terms.
Sandra often blends approaches such as cognitive behavioral strategies, solution-focused work, motivational interviewing, trauma-informed care, and EMDR-informed techniques to match the needs of each person. She is willing to include faith or spirituality in sessions when clients want that element.
The focus is on where the client wants to go next rather than on erasing the past. Sandra emphasizes building skills that can be used between sessions, and she supports steady progress toward healthier relationships and greater emotional balance.
