About Me

Hi, I'm Sandra

Life can feel overwhelming when emotions run high, relationships feel strained, or the strategies that once worked no longer seem to help. Whether you are navigating anxiety, trauma, parenting challenges, life transitions, or the unique experiences of neurodivergence, you deserve a space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to make meaningful changes.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a background that bridges mental health counseling, education, and family support.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent 17 years working in education, including leadership roles supporting students, families, and multidisciplinary teams. These experiences shaped my understanding of how our brains, emotions, relationships, and environments influence the way we navigate daily life.

My approach is collaborative, practical, and compassionate. I integrate evidence-informed strategies, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, emotion regulation skills, and trauma-responsive approaches, including EMDR when clinically appropriate. Rather than simply talking about what feels difficult, we work together to understand patterns, build skills, strengthen self-awareness, and identify strategies you can use in everyday life.

I believe growth happens when we feel safe enough to be ourselves, curious enough to understand our experiences, and supported enough to try something new.

My goal is to help you recognize your strengths, develop tools that fit your needs, and create meaningful change that carries beyond the therapy room.
