In our first session, you can expect a warm and compassionate environment where you feel safe to share your thoughts and feelings. We’ll start with an assessment to understand your background, current concerns, and goals for therapy. This collaborative approach helps us identify the best direction for our work together. My focus is on providing support and guidance while building a trusting therapeutic relationship that empowers you on your journey toward growth and healing.
I bring a rich cultural background and diverse experiences to my practice, allowing me to connect deeply with clients, especially those from Hispanic communities. My use of humor helps create a relaxed atmosphere, making it easier to discuss challenging topics. I pride myself on being flexible and adaptable, tailoring my approach to meet each client’s unique needs. My goal is to foster a safe, supportive space where clients can explore their challenges with empathy and laughter, leading to meaningful growth and transformation.
My ideal clients are Hispanic women and adults navigating life’s challenges, such as mental health issues, relationship struggles, and cultural pressures. I connect with them through a shared understanding of their unique experiences and values, creating a safe space where they feel heard and respected. With a focus on empowerment, I integrate culturally relevant strategies that honor their heritage and promote resilience. Together, we will explore their strengths and challenges, helping them find their voice and achieve lasting change in a supportive, compassionate environment.
In a welcoming and culturally sensitive setting, I help you explore what truly matters to you, honoring and integrating aspects of Hispanic culture and values. Using Carl Rogers' person-centered approach alongside Motivational Interviewing (MI), we focus on your unique strengths, including family, community, and tradition, to foster self-discovery and positive change. Together, we’ll navigate your journey toward growth and lasting fulfillment, respecting and celebrating the richness of your cultural background.

It took me a couple sessions to really open up, but once I did Dr.Sandra was very engaged. She does an amazing job at connecting the dots in my head, and getting to the real meaning as to why I feel certain emotions. She explains things very clearly. She also understands a lot of where I come from, and the background of latino families- she made me feel so seen and heard.
