Sandra is a great listener and knowledgeable to deal with a variety of issues, even when unrelated to one another. So far, a month in, I am comfortable enough to open up to her. Even though I self reflect a lot - She has been able to identify new aspects I could work on or look into, in order to better my mental state and life - which is great.

She is absolutely amazing. You can tell she truly cares, always responding and squeezing in last minute appointments if she can. She gives great advice while lending a sympathetic ear, and couldn’t feel more grateful to be paired up with her!
More about Prof.
- 31 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I was a professor of social work for 23 years, and I continue to supervise social workers toward their clinical licensure. I have guided at least 40 social workers in 3 states in this way, and so I am sometimes considered the "therapist's therapist." During my activities in teaching and supervision, I continued to provide therapy to clients with various concerns, so that I continually learned and became current in many approaches and techniques. I have taught, published, and presented at conferences a great deal in the areas of grief and bereavement as well as mental health in the health care field, especially that of veterinary professionals. I have also participated in and published about the impact and mental health concerns during and after natural disasters, including the current pandemic and several hurricanes. As a therapist, I am interested in the mental health of healthcare professionals of all stripes, as well as their significant others. I have worked in these environments, and I understand the stressors which lead to burnout, compassion fatigue, and breakdown in relationships.
So if you are looking for a mature therapist who can empathically respond to your unique situation, I would love to meet you.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
