Great to meet you!

I have over 23 years working with adolescents and their families. I have 13 years in the substance abuse field and 13 years in the mental health field. I enjoy working with adolescents, adults, couples and families. I am a certified addictions counselor. I am trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).

A bit about my approach to therapy

While it is very difficult to ask for help, we all have times in our lives when we need to talk to someone. What I offer is a non-judgmental environment for all to work through their problems using talk therapy. Through self reflection and behavior modification I feel that we all can overcome our troubles.

What you can expect from our first session

I want to make sure our time together is productive so you learn and grow as an individual. I will lead you through the journey of self-discovery.

Saundra's style is

Direct
Empowering
Open-minded
