I am licensed in Texas with 8 years of professional work experience. I have worked as a high school counselor for the past 9 years. Through my years working as a high school counselor I have worked with not only students, but family members, and staff as well. I have had the ability to help clients in areas such as anxiety, depression, self harm, trauma, eating disorders, self esteem issues, relationship issues, and career choices. Being a school counselor has given me the opportunity to work with a diverse group of counseling areas, and clients.
My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, existential, and interpersonal therapy. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

Sandra actually made me cry during our first session by getting down to the root issue. However I still struggle because it’s only week 2. She definitely helps!

I always knew I needed to talk to someone, needed help but was always worried to be judge or to think it would be weird and awkward.
But Sandra made me feel so safe that I opened up on some really deep wounds that I never shared with anyone. Thank you for listening and supporting me every day

I have had such a great first therapy experience with Sandra! She is very understanding, checks in on me if there has been a gap between appointments, is very compassionate and you can definitely tell she cares deeply for her clients and profession. I’m very happy I was matched with Sandra and I couldn’t have asked for a better therapist!
