Approach to treatment
Her practice is grounded in creating a space that is safe, validating, and non-judgmental, where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace. She works with clients to build insight, develop coping skills, and strengthen their sense of agency and self-worth.
Her work is also informed by grief-, shame-, and trauma-sensitive perspectives, allowing her to support clients with compassion as they process painful experiences and work toward healing.
Areas of focus
Sandra provides a compassionate and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their experiences, process difficult emotions, and move toward greater clarity and healing.

- Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
- Emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and balanced thinking
- Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)

Education and experience
Sandra earned her: • Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology (MACP) from Yorkville University • Master of Education (MEd) from the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE) • Honours Bachelor of Arts in English from the University of Toronto • Postgraduate Diploma in Public Relations from Humber College
Before becoming a therapist, Sandra worked in the non-profit sector with the Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB) and as a teacher with the York Region District School Board (YRDSB), as well as internationally in China, South Korea, Italy, and Abu Dhabi.
Her years as a high school teacher gave her extensive experience working with families and youth from diverse backgrounds, including marginalized communities and individuals with learning exceptionalities, behavioural challenges, and social-emotional difficulties. This background informs her understanding of school-related stress, family dynamics, and the unique pressures faced by young people and caregivers.
Beyond the therapy room
Sandra believes in practicing what she encourages in therapy, finding balance, staying curious, and making space for joy. She stays active through yoga, cycling, and regular gym sessions, and she enjoys immersing herself in live theatre and discovering new places through travel. Her rescue puppy, Zeus, is her favourite walking companion and a daily reminder of resilience, trust, and the importance of showing up with an open heart.
