About Sandra
Sandra adapts her approach to the issue someone brings in. She leans on therapies that emphasize values, attachment, and real skills for managing thoughts and emotions. In session she listens first, then works with each person to set short-term goals and usable strategies.
Her training includes a Master of Science in Counseling and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. Sandra has worked with people from diverse cultural backgrounds and draws on that experience when shaping treatment plans. She pays attention to how life context affects coping and relationships.
Typical concerns she addresses include depression, bipolar disorder, grief, addictions, parenting stress, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, body image, chronic illness, and communication problems. Sandra uses methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to meet different needs.

How Sandra’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters to them and take small steps toward those values, even when hard feelings appear. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build safer ways of relating and connecting. It can help with intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, and attachment wounds. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns, often used for anxiety, depression, and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sandra collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and life demands. She will adjust methods as progress is reviewed and as what a person needs becomes clearer.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow quicker check-ins during stressful periods. It also supports continuing care when life changes make in-person visits harder. Licensed professionals can use the same skill-based tools online, working on values, attachment patterns, or CBT exercises in the virtual space while checking that the approach fits the client’s needs.
