About me

Hello!

Thank you for sharing the challenges you are facing. I am glad you have taken the first steps toward a healthy and positive journey of healing and wellness in your life.

Please click on my name above our messages to view my profile for more information about my background, education, experience, and counseling approach. I generally check messages here a few times a day, Monday through Friday, and respond as quickly as I can. I appreciate your patience if it takes longer to respond, as I may be working with other clients or managing personal responsibilities.

I approach counseling from a cognitive-behavioral perspective. I help clients understand how negative thought patterns influence their emotional and behavioral reactions. We will examine the patterns of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that may interfere with your current functioning. Additionally, I incorporate various other perspectives and strategies based on your individual issues and needs.

My goal in our work together is to enhance the quality of your relationship by addressing issues in ways that promote both individual and couple growth. I encourage you to think about 2 to 3 goals you would like to work toward achieving in therapy.

You can view available times to schedule on the left-hand side of your sessions page under my photo and name. I have marked time slots as "Open" on my schedule for the week, indicating that those times are available. The scheduler is currently formatted in 30-minute increments; however, if you prefer a one-hour session, please let me know so that I can block off the next 30-minute slot.

I look forward to working with you and appreciate that you value your marriage and want to resolve conflicts in your relationship.

Be well,
Sandra (M.Ed, LPC, LMFT)

Exactly who we needed in a therapist. She listens well and does not hesitate to point out the issues she sees with both partners, as well as offer easy to apply strategies.

I am very pleased with our therapy sessions. Ms. Sandra has a calming, genuine spirit. She is very patient, a great listener, and knows how to hear us explain something and puts it in a more clear and concise way for better understanding. She acknowledges our thoughts/feelings and paraphrases for clearer communication with our partner. She gives us room to fully express ourselves, she asks for deeper explanations for a clearer picture. After each session, I feel relieved that I was able to address everything I felt was important that day and felt like I was actually heard and a weight lifted. Looking forward to the practical work now that she has a better view of our relationship dynamics and issues.

Excellent Counselor!!!! Very good listener and gives great strategies for self improvement.

Written on Feb 14, 2021 after therapy with Sandra for 2 months on issues concerning relationship

Great counselor and ever better person. Had a poor experience with the first counselor I was assigned, but Sandra had a far more compassionate and professional demeanor. The relationship was quite toxic and in a relatively short time respect, communication and validation were reincorporated back into the dynamic. She's like that wise auntie that you run to when you have a problem; not because she solves it for you, but because she teaches you how to step back, take a moment and work it out for yourself with guidance and a trusted sounding board. She helps you face your truths in practical, sustainable ways.

Sandra has been a big help for us. I hope she continues to offer her much needed talent to every couple in need.

Written on Nov 14, 2020 after therapy with Sandra for 3 months on issues concerning relationship

Sandra was a fantastic counselor. Very nice and helpful. Me and my significant other were close to ending our relationship and with her help things have gotten better. She also helped us with personal growth. She is always there to listen and offer advice. Every week I asked her to add a half hour to our session she did it for us. She has been excellent and if it wasnt for financial constraints we would probably continue to see her every week. She would do personal sessions with us as needed as well. She was very flexible with us. We will miss her alot.
