My treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I utilize CBT as an intervention to assist clients in identifying, exploring and challenging negative thought patterns that may impact symptoms of depression, anxiety, anger and low self-esteem.
Psychoeducation
I utilize psychoeducation as needed to provide patients with knowledge and information that may be beneficial to them in understanding various aspects of behavior, illness and effective treatments.
Strength-Based
I utilize a strength-based approach with my patients that focuses on their inner strengths, abilities, knowledge and resourcefulness in order to assist them in affecting positive changes within themselves.
Trauma-Focused CBT
I utilize Trauma-Focused CBT as an evidence-based treatment for children and adolescents impacted by trauma which has proven to be a highly effective treatment in reducing trauma-related symptoms.

In our first therapy session, Sandy stressed that this was about me; getting to know me, issues and concerns that I have, how I feel and saying that I felt comfortable and open in our conversation. And that felt safe.

Sandy is a great listener and adept at creating an environment where we don’t feel anxious or hesitant to share our feelings. Our marriage is in so much of a better place since we have met Sandy.
