Hi there, I'm Sandra!

I work with individuals from adolescence to late adulthood addressing anxiety, depression, trauma, and difficult life transitions. My work incorporates evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, as well as experiential approaches such as Brainspotting to meet each person's unique needs.

My focus

I most often work with individuals living with treatment-resistant depression and post-traumatic stress disorder, as well as adults struggling with intense anxiety, anger, grief, or stress. Many face conflict in relationships due to childhood trauma and seek to improve connections with loved ones. Others resort to substance use when overwhelmed.

My approach

My approach stems from a systems perspective, helping you integrate all parts of your life, including the parts that are hurt or would benefit from growth. Sessions are holistic, focusing on mind and body to determine the root cause of emotional distress. I help you realize your full potential and uphold your most important values.
