As part of a collaborative therapeutic relationship, I often integrate Play Therapy (including AutPlay) and Accelerated Resolution Trauma Therapy in my sessions.
As an In-Home Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I understand that the storms of life can impact every one of us at one time or another. Whether you are 1 or 101, life transitions and difficult circumstances can leave you feeling anxious, depressed, scared, isolated, and powerless, robbing you of a hopeful future. Functioning under these circumstances can make it difficult to reach out for help. Whether you have a child who is struggling with major life changes, or you yourself are dealing with the loss of a loved one or another form of complex trauma, you do not need to go through these experiences alone.

Holistically-minded, future-focused, out-of-the-box solutions for every concern and situation. I enjoy working with clients who seek change and a future full of possibilities, despite past situations. Clients I work with often need help improving their self-esteem, navigating the intricacies of interpersonal communication, and working through blueprints of the past that are negatively impacting them in the present, working together to build a new future. I often function as a sounding board with the ability to see situations from a different perspective, while offering problem solving, guidance and unconditional regard.

I am Sandi and I have been working as a mental health counselor in private practice for 30 years. I have worked exensively with individuals dealing with trauma, abuse, A/D issues, grief and loss, anxiety, and depression. I spent several years working as a crisis counselor. I was also a crisis counselor with the county mental health agency and counseled adults in custody at the prison in my area. I see each of my clients as individuals in need of someone to listen to them, treat them with compassion and understanding so that they can learn to trust sharing the issues for which they are seeking counseling.

Life is hard. There is no question about that. Between family/relational stresses, work, finances, faith, hobbies and larger global worries, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, turn to substances to cope and not know how to move forward. Are you a Christian who would like your faith, prayer and Biblical principles integrated into your treatment? As a fellow Believer, I look forward to walking with you on that journey. With a background in law enforcement, firefighting and EMS, I deeply enjoy working with first responders as they battle unique obstacles with work/life balance and exposure to trauma.

Couples Counseling Therapists
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
