Sandra had intensive clinical training in Trauma-informed therapies and other therapeutic modalities. Starting from her internship where she worked with refugees and immigrants who experienced traumatic events, she found herself passionate and dedicated to serving clients who experienced trauma. In her career path, she specialized in providing culturally responsive, safe, and trauma-informed care for diverse clients, who had significant mental health challenges such as PTSD, childhood trauma, mood disorders (Anxiety disorders and Depression), grief, and chronic pain. Sandra is trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Interventions, Strength-Based Interventions, Compassion Focused, Trauma-Informed, and Prolonged Exposure Therapy. She earned a Certificate from Beck’s Institute “Essentials of CBT”, and she is currently training to be a Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist Professional (CCTP).

As a psychotherapist, Sandra’s main clinical goal for her client is to feel safe and accepted throughout therapy. She cares for her client to know their full potential and gain resilience. She will help her client gain awareness and understanding of their past and its relation to current stressors and their effect on emotional challenges. She will also assist and teach to use practical tools and gain skills to cope with daily emotional and life stressors. This is achieved simultaneously with increasing self-compassion to aid in the healing process. Equally important, she attends and becomes interested in the unique outcome of her client’s narrative life story that highlights strengths and positive qualities in their identity.
