Life's journey is a road that is sometimes smooth, bumpy, with twists and turns, roadblocks, detours, and open skies. As we travel, we may need a guide to help us navigate. My 30 years of professional experience has given me an opportunity to help others move forward. If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, panic attacks, anger, communication, past trauma and other roadblocks, I can help. Also, I have led DBT and Anger Management groups for ten years. I have a Master's Degree and am licensed in the State of Michigan. I look forward to working with you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Sandra (I call her Sandy) is a wonderful human. I was very new to the therapy world and wasn't exactly sure where to start, I just knew I needed to. Sandy is someone who I can freely talk to and know that there is zero judgement. She is there to listen and help me understand my feelings while also giving me great tools to deal with each problem I am having whether it be my depression or anxiety. Sandy feels like someone I have known forever now even though I only started therapy in October. She offers such relief to my mind and getting things off my chest. It is so nice to be able to talk to someone who isn't a family or a friend that already has emotional connection to a situation. I can talk with her about anything and everything without feeling like I am placing a burden on someone. It sounds like a small thing but it really has been the biggest thing of all. Sandy makes it so easy to be yourself and feel seen and heard. She makes you understand that your emotions and feelings are valid. Being able to talk about past traumas with someone who won't get hurt by bringing up memories and have them validating your pain and acknowledging your strength is healing and grounding. Sandy makes an effort to give me tools that I can use in those moments when I might be having very bad days or struggling with myself. She makes sure to actively keep in touch with me and check in on me. She reminds me to make myself a priority in my life and to keep after my goals. Sandy also takes the time to really get to know you and understand the reasons why you are where you are. I do the journal entries as often as I can and Sandy takes the time to read each and every one of them and give feedback on every one. She really dives into the writing and tries to read between the lines. Sandy truly is a great therapist and someone that I know I can go to with anything heavy on my mind or heart. She makes me feel better, feel more myself and feel at home in my mind and body. She also has a great sense of humor - it is worth noting! Laughter is one of my favorite ways to heal!

Sandra makes me feel cared for in a way that I'm not used to and it feels great every time we get to talk through parts of my experience. I appreciate that she listens AND gives me resources and encourages me to do my own research on what I'm feeling and experiencing.
