Hello! My name is Sandy. I hold a Masters degree in Counselling Psychology (Hons) from Yorkville University, and a Post-Bachelorette Diploma in Guidance Counselling and Bachelor of Education degree from the University of Manitoba. I am a Canadian Certified Counsellor and a member of the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association.
I work with children, adolescents, youth, young adults and adults. Some of my areas of experience and interest are anxiety, depression, grief and loss, life transitions, relationship challenges, emotional regulation, and the effects of trauma, including complex PTSD.
My therapeutic approach is client-centred and strengths-based. I also choose from a variety of therapeutic modalities based on individual needs, viewed through an attachment and trauma-informed lens.
At the heart of the therapeutic process is a trusting relationship. I prioritize building that trust by listening with care, respecting your pace, and creating a space where it feels safe to share stories and experiences without the burden of shame and guilt. Together, we explore what may be getting in the way of well-being while finding ways to help cope with the challenges you’re facing now. We work towards changes that help you feel more confident in yourself and the choices you make.
Reaching out for support is a courageous step. If you feel we might be a good fit, I would be glad to support you as you take that next step.
