Hello! My name is Sandee (she/her), and I believe healing begins when people feel truly seen, heard, and accepted. Whether you are navigating a faith transition, healing from religious trauma, managing the challenges of a chronic health condition, or moving through a major life change, my goal is to provide a safe, compassionate, and affirming space where growth and healing can occur.
I am a Licensed Associate Counselor (LAC) with a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Grand Canyon University and a Bachelor’s Degree in Communication from Arizona State University.
I specialize in working with individuals experiencing religious trauma, faith transitions, LGBTQ+ concerns, life transitions, and chronic health conditions. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and couples, tailoring therapy to each client’s unique experiences, strengths, and goals.
My therapeutic approach is primarily person-centered and strengths-based, helping clients recognize and build upon their own resilience and capacity for change. I am also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), allowing me to integrate evidence-based approaches that support healing, connection, and lasting transformation.
Beyond my professional work, I have been married for more than 40 years and am the proud parent of four adult children and grandparent to five wonderful grandchildren. Having lived in various parts of the world, I have developed a deep appreciation for diverse cultures, perspectives, and life experiences. These experiences shape the way I connect with clients, bringing curiosity, openness, and respect for each person’s unique story.
Reaching out for support is often one of the hardest steps in the healing process, and I applaud your courage in taking it. It would be my privilege to walk alongside you as you move toward healing, self-understanding, and well-being.
