I'm Sandra, an LCSW who believes everyone deserves an individualized approach to care — because everyone's story is different. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, life transitions, and a wide range of other challenges, including those tied to identity and cultural background. I value open communication and want you to feel genuinely heard, respected, and supported. If you're ready to explore what's getting in your way and build real tools for change, I'd love to connect.

As a licensed clinical social worker, I believe taking care of ourselves is important for us to enjoy life. Making the decision to seek help can be one of the most difficult parts and you have taken the first step in changing your future! I have been in the field for over 20 years and practicing as a therapist for over a decade. My focus is on adults, both men and women, who struggle with trauma, grief, anxiety and depression.

I believe therapy should feel like a safe, relaxed space where you are in control. My approach is laid back and client-led, allowing you to dictate the direction of your therapy based on what feels most important to you. I don’t come in with a rigid agenda or a one-size-fits-all plan. Instead, I’m here to listen, support, and gently guide you as you work toward the areas of growth and healing you want to focus on. Together, we’ll move at your pace, building insight, skills, and confidence in a way that feels authentic and meaningful to you. Evening and Saturday appointment available.

If you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, family conflict, or life transitions, you're not alone. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck, emotionally exhausted, disconnected from loved ones, or unsure how to move forward. Others are navigating communication struggles, changes in important relationships, women's issues, or difficult life circumstances that leave them feeling overwhelmed and unsupported.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor with 8 years of experience, I provide a supportive, collaborative space where you can feel heard, understood, and respected. My goal is to help you identify what's contributing to your challenges, build on your strengths, and develop practical tools that support healing, healthier relationships, and meaningful personal growth.

I believe in meeting people where they are at and building from there. We are all unique and empowering one to be their best is my goal.

About Me

Hello and welcome. You don't need to have everything figured out before seeking help. We can start where you are, identify what's getting in the way, and develop a path toward where you want to be.

I bring over 18 years of clinical counseling experience and graduate education in Christian Counseling, Rehabilitation Psychology, and Industrial-Organizational Psychology.

I have supported attorneys, doctors, police officers, engineers, CEO's, professional and paraprofessional workers, college students, educators, health care professionals, and veterans and active-duty service members and military families.

I work with couples, adults, seniors, adolescents, veterans, and professionals facing relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, chronic illness, men's issues, workplace stress, life transitions, and faith-related concerns.

My approach is compassionate, practical, collaborative, and solution-focused. Together, we identify patterns contributing to distress, develop practical skills, strengthen healthy coping, and work toward meaningful change.

I am a very open-minded therapist. I have worked with a large range of different people in different settings. I have worked with kiddos from age 4 to adults aged 70+ and have found what works best for each individual I work with.

After, I worked school-base, home-based, as well as within the workers comp world so have worked with a little of everything!

You've been looking for a therapist who will get it. Who won't need you to explain, defend, or translate. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, or the particular weight of figuring out who you are in a world that doesn't always make that easy, you deserve a space where all of you is welcome. I'm an LCSW with 8 years in mental health and a proud member and ally of the LGBTQIA+ community. I work with adults dealing with anxiety, depression, identity, and the everyday experience of just being your full self. My goal is to help you build toward where you actually want to be, at a pace that works for you.
