Sandra is a Registered Psychotherapist and practices in Cobourg.

Whatever treatment you would like to work through with me, whether it is individual, marriage or group, I provide a safe, warm atmosphere with a non-judgmental focus. This allows you to explore your issues, discover what you need, and acquire support to formulate your ideas, tools & get clarity. These tools raise your awareness & assist you to get your present and future goals met. I am a knowledgeable, compassionate and effective practitioner and in partnership with my clients, together, we meet their goals.

My focus is client-centred and eclectic while developing a critical client-therapist trust relationship that determines successful sessions together.  I apply various approaches throughout,  ie: Mindfulness Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Emotional Awareness and Release, Addiction related insight, Co-dependency patterns, and shed light on other behaviours that may restrict your goals.

I have facilitated group therapy with men and women both separately and together for over 30 years. My groups are committed, closed groups and run for 6 months at a time. I believe that groups work extremely well.  Peer support provides confidence, support, acknowledgement and a sense of community for its members.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist, a Clinical Member of Dalton Associates, a Clinical Member of the Ontario Society of Psychotherapists and a Member of The Association of Registered Psychotherapists & Mental Health Professionals.
