She supports people who are dealing with caregiving strain, serious illness, or cancer-related concerns. Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered work, and cognitive behavioral methods.
How Sandra works
Sandra helps people notice unhelpful patterns, try small changes, and build habits that fit their values. She often combines mindfulness practices with solution-focused steps to get through hard moments. Sandra has long experience working with addiction issues, anxiety, bipolar concerns, and trauma or abuse.
She also supports those facing eating and food-related struggles, anger, and relationship or family conflict. Additional focus areas include aging and geriatric issues, chronic pain and illness, and caregiver stress. In sessions she listens first, then helps set clear, manageable goals.
Therapy can include practical exercises, compassion-focused reflection, and skill-building to handle day-to-day challenges. Sandra encourages steady progress rather than quick fixes. Sessions are offered in English and are adapted to each person's needs and pace.
Her practice welcomes people seeking steady support while navigating loss, health problems, or big life transitions.

Online support options
Therapy approaches that translate well online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. Online ACT sessions often use short exercises and values-based goals to address grief, depression, and life changes. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person without judgment. In remote sessions this approach creates space to talk through feelings and build trust through steady presence and reflection. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT techniques work well over video or messaging for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns because they map easily onto homework and brief skill practice.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions can shift over time so therapy stays practical and relevant to what the person wants to accomplish.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone calls require less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins, threaded conversations, and written reminders of skills. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around medical care, caregiving duties, or other life demands.
