Great to meet you!

I am a seasoned social scientist with years of experience in the addiction science and mental health field

I have a compassion for humanity , and I do believe that everyone is the expert of their life and that the solution lies within

A bit about my approach to therapy

My approach is very solution focus solution center solution based

I want to encourage the patient or the client to look within themselves for the answer.

I operate from a reality based reasoning , and my mode of processing is motivational interviewing with reflective listening

We are all the product of our life experiences both good and bad and while there is life, there is always the opportunity to heal and make progress

What you can expect from our first session

  • The most important take away would be that you don’t have a drug problem. You don’t have an alcohol problem. You don’t have a food problem. You don’t have a gambling problem , that is the visible symptomology of a deeper human condition. You have a YOU problem and once you are able to tap into the core issues then and only then can the process of healing and recovery be established

Sandra's style is

Affirming
Inquisitive
Solution-oriented
