Sandi is amazing! Went to therapy on and off for years and never could find a good therapist that “got me” and felt safe with. Sandi was a god send and I was so delightfully surprised to find we have common interests beyond the emotional issues listed that I needed help with. Her knowledge is wide ranging and she’s very cheerful, insightful, great listener, creative and kind. She has helped me in many ways including my creative expression and healing from a toxic relationships, acceptance, understanding the cause of and mediating anger, grief of my father etc. I enjoy every session w Sandi. I leave feeling more positive and understanding of myself and others. Sandi is the best!

I ask myself, "Have we met before?"...
Sandi is like an old friend that you bump into and rekindle a friendship. She's easy to talk to, and has this incredible way of having you talk out the issues floating around in your head, putting them in tidy "mental boxes", then unpacking each box one at a time.
It is an amazing feeling each time you've unpacked one of those boxes completely!
