Hi there, I'm Sandy!

As a therapist, I strive to provide a safe, welcoming, and culturally aware environment for individuals and their families. My goal is to help clients navigate through life's challenges by building on their personal strengths and lived experiences while developing tools that foster healing, resilience, and personal growth.

My focus

My practice focuses on supporting teens and adults navigating through challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, domestic violence, life transitions, relationship problems, and self-esteem. I value cultural awareness and supporting clients in feeling empowered.

My approach

I believe that therapy should be a collaborative process where clients feel heard and supported without judgement. My approach incorporates strengths-based, trauma-informed, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and solution-focused techniques, all tailored to each client's unique needs and cultural considerations.
