Dana Sandoval

My communication style

My style is warm, empathetic, and direct. I create a supportive, non-judgmental environment where you feel safe and understood. Working with me feels collaborative and empowering as you actively participate in your healing process.

My journey to mental healthcare

I pursued therapy as a second career, drawing on my experience as a woman of color in healthcare. I understand high-pressure jobs and life situations. I wanted to be someone who truly sees and understands people who feel overlooked or marginalized.

My goals for you

I work collaboratively with you to identify meaningful, achievable goals. We break larger objectives into manageable steps aligned with your values and strengths, ensuring you feel genuinely heard throughout the process.

Our first session

You can expect a warm, welcoming environment where you feel safe sharing your story. We'll discuss your concerns, goals, and any previous therapy experiences to understand your unique needs. I focus on building a strong therapeutic relationship from the start.

I identify as...

• Female
