Sandra has published and presented widely on grief and bereavement and on mental health in healthcare fields. She has focused on the effects of natural disasters and public health crises, including hurricanes and the recent pandemic.

BHow sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Attachment-based work looks at how relationships shape patterns of trust and closeness. It helps people who struggle with intimacy, caregiving stress, or repeated relationship problems by focusing on connection and repair. Client-centered therapy centers on the person in front of the therapist, using active listening and reflection to help clarify what matters and to strengthen decision-making. Existential therapy addresses questions about meaning, purpose, loss, and choice; it can help when life changes or grief raise larger questions about direction.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sandra will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their situation and goals. She draws on attachment, narrative, existential, and client-centered tools and will explain why a particular focus seems useful for the concerns you bring.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to arrange around work, caregiving, or travel. Video can support face-to-face conversation, while phone sessions may be useful for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Discuss practical scheduling needs during the matching process so sessions fit into everyday life.
