Welcome! My name is Sandy and I am a therapist based in Chicago. Do you have a nagging sense that you aren't living the life you truly want? I enjoy supporting individuals of all ages to explore their hopes and consider what is holding them back from creating a life they truly desire. I specialize in trauma and have experience working with LGBTQIA+ clients, families, adolescents, juvenile justice-involved youth, and professionals managing stress. I know therapy can seem like an overwhelming idea, whether it is a painful past or self-doubt, I will walk with you to the other side.

First session

From the first session on, we will work at a pace you are comfortable with to unpack the barriers in your way, while simultaneously taking action towards the future. One step at a time.

Strengths

I do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach, and have found that humor not only stimulates the good stuff we need in our brains but makes "the work," do I dare say even a little fun?!

Grateful to have been matched/paired with Sandy. Her expertise fits my specific needs. She always leaves me feeling empowered, informed, and challenged. Having set/accomplished goals, she continues to validate my journey. Sandy is also knowledgeable, open-minded, and understands my humor. Her advice is safe, authentic, and holistic. Relieved she does not push for medications to solve problems. Truly grateful for these past few years of "Sandy Sessions." Looking forward to her continued support.
