Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Hello! I am Sandra. I am a Marriage and Family Therapist licensed in the state of Alabama. I graduated with a Master of Science with my degree in Marriage, Family, and Child Counseling from California State University over twenty years ago. I hold an Advanced Alcohol and Drug Certification along with my Marriage and Family Therapist license. I have worked with clients struggling with a wide range of concerns, including stress and anxiety, grief, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, and addictions.
Whether you are looking for a Therapist for a short-term issue (Solution Focused) or long-term “unraveling” of past issues (Psychodynamic), I have a myriad of evidence-based approaches in my toolkit. Regardless of the approach, you will find me Person-Centered. The Therapeutic alliance between me as the Therapist and you as the client must be one of trust and empathy, or we will not be able to work. I welcome the opportunity to work with you as an individual or come beside couples and families as they walk through the issues of life. Upon request, I will be happy to incorporate your Faith into our sessions and solutions. I have a Doctorate of Ministry in Pastoral Counseling. My education, professional and personal experiences have provided me with insight and understanding to work with a variety of issues. Let’s talk about what is bothering you- Anxiety/Stress, Grief, Depression, Addictions, Self Esteem, Family or Parenting Issues, Relationships, Career Difficulties, and life choices.

Many people wonder whether online therapy can genuinely help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person care.
A major benefit is flexibility. Clients can connect in the format that suits them best – video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging – which often makes it easier to keep appointments and fit therapy into a busy life.
Sessions are provided by licensed professionals, and clients may switch therapists at any time if they would prefer a different match.
