About Sandra

Background and approach
She brings a warm, approachable manner and offers guidance informed by her Christian faith while respecting each person's beliefs and choices. Sandra emphasizes respect and nonjudgmental support when clients take the step to seek help.
Her background includes a BA and an MA in Counseling from Lincoln Christian College and Seminary and extensive work across in-person and online settings. Sandra has particular experience providing parenting and anger-management support, including structured classes used for court-ordered programs or Department of Children and Family Services service plans.
She has also developed and taught a dating curriculum addressing warning signs and healthy relationship choices, and she has assisted many people recovering from domestic violence, childhood abuse, and trauma. Sandra blends compassion with practical coaching skills to help clients build coping strategies, improve communication, and pursue personal goals.
She offers therapy that is adaptable to each person's needs and encourages collaborative planning to address long-standing concerns and immediate challenges.
Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Many of Sandras methods draw on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people manage symptoms and build skills. One common approach focuses on skills training for anxiety and panic - teaching breathing, grounding, and coping strategies to reduce intense physical and emotional reactions and improve day-to-day functioning. Another frequently used method emphasizes trauma-informed interventions which support processing past abuse and violence at a pace that feels manageable while addressing symptoms of post-traumatic stress and related difficulties.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Sandra works with clients to identify goals, preferences, and the issues that matter most, then tailors techniques and pacing to fit each persons needs. This partnership helps ensure the selected strategies feel practical and relevant rather than prescriptive.
Online therapy offers practical benefits such as flexible scheduling and easier access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats allow clients to maintain continuity of care from home or work and to choose the communication style that best supports their progress with a licensed professional.
