LPC/MHSP, 30 years of experience
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida and a Licensed Professional Counselor in Tennessee. After completing my training at the University of Florida, I began practicing psychotherapy. My therapy approach includes strength-based counseling, insight-oriented therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy. I have a specialty in working with people with chronic illness, disability and anxiety disorders. In my free time, I enjoy time with friends, traveling, SCUBA diving and spending time with my dog, Cubby.
In our first session, we'll start with introductions and then I will be interested in hearing what you want to accomplish in our time together.
I enjoy helping my clients seeing how their past experiences inform their current situations so they can move to a happier future without the negative baggage from their past.
I enjoy working with clients who feel they want to grow personally and feel better emotionally. Although I have a specialty in dealing with chronic illness and disability, I have found that anyone who is struggling emotionally fits that definition since our mind and body work together.

Sandy is incredibly easy to talk to. She’s kind, compassionate, and really listens without judgment. What I appreciate most is how she helps me explore solutions rather than just giving advice—she offers different options and perspectives, empowering me to make choices that feel right for me. She also gently guides me to reflect on myself in ways that are insightful and encouraging. Working with Sandy has truly made a positive impact on my personal growth and relationship with my daughter.

She's very helpful and understanding. Grateful for her.
I am interested in understanding your past and how it impacts your present so I can help you make your future all you want it to be.
Although I do use cognitive techniques to assist in changing behavior, I also want to help you see how that behavior was formed so you can choose how to change it moving forward.
