Accepting New Clients
Sandra (she/her/hers) is a Board-Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner serving our Arizona clients. Sandra has 20 years of nursing experience and completed her psychiatric training at Walden University.
Trained as a Psych NP, Sandra is a generalist with experience in treating a wide range of conditions.
“My approach to treatment is rooted in evidence-based, person-centered care that emphasizes empathy, collaboration, and empowerment. I integrate elements of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, neuropsychology, and psychodynamic principles to help individuals gain insight into their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I believe in creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore challenges, build resilience, and work toward meaningful change. Each treatment plan is individualized, addressing the whole person — mind, body, and environment — to promote lasting mental wellness and personal growth.”
