About Sandra

She offers calm, steady support for people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship struggles, intimacy concerns, and big life changes. Her approach is respectful and warm, focused on listening and responding to each person’s needs.
She starts by learning how a person sees their life and relationships. Sessions are tailored to the individual rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Background and approach
She emphasizes a person-centered style that centers the client's experience and priorities. Her background includes work in both inpatient and outpatient settings and many years in independent practice. She has also taught counseling to students from diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds.

Sandra draws on several therapeutic methods to shape treatment, including Narrative Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, client-centered work, and cognitive behavioral tools. She explains options in everyday language and helps people decide what might fit best for them.
Sessions focus on understanding patterns, improving coping skills, and making practical changes that fit a person's life.

Online session options
How approach and online formats work together
Many of Sandra's methods translate well to online work. Narrative Therapy helps people rewrite the stories they tell about themselves by identifying unhelpful themes and exploring alternative meanings. It can be helpful for relationship struggles, identity shifts, and coping with life changes. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while taking actions that match personal values; it often helps with anxiety and stress by teaching practical ways to stay engaged with life.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns that developed in close relationships and how those patterns influence current bonds. It can be useful when intimacy or relationship issues are central concerns. Sandra talks through these approaches with each person and decides together which fits best. Finding the right mix is part of the work and she aims to match methods to a person's goals and preferences in a collaborative way.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use face-to-face conversation when possible. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text-based messaging can make it easier to fit support into a busy day or to keep in touch between longer sessions. These formats offer flexibility so therapy can fit into everyday life.
