Hi my name is Sandra!

I am glad you are here and have taken an interest in pursuing wellness and your goals!

I am a Registered Master of Social Work and a former Child and Youth Worker. I am also a professional Corporate Mediator and offer mediation services. I enjoy helping those navigate complex relationships that may have been ruptured along the way. 

I am passionate about helping you overcome your challenges and lead a fulfilling life. I have helped many children, youth, and adults overcome life’s challenges and move through stress, trauma and adversity.

 I believe that everyone is unique and deserves a tailored approach to meet their individual needs and goals. I work from a client-centered approach with health needs and life goals at the forefront of my service. I am committed to providing a safe and supportive environment for everyone.

I have many years of experience working with clients from diverse backgrounds, who have mental health concerns, and those who have experienced or endured mild to complex trauma. I also have extensive experience supporting those who have been affected by motor vehicle accidents. To support your individual needs, I can also facilitate community referrals to enhance supports and outcomes for you and your family members.

When you want to connect, I am here for you. 

Some areas I enjoy working with clients to help navigate include...
· Life transitions - new job, career, relationships.
· Trauma, PTSD & CPTSD- healing from the past, exploring how the past shaped you and how you want to show up. 

· Relationship conflicts- unhealthy relationship patterns, boundary building and advocating for self. 

 · Community Referrals- to enhance your wellness needs. 

 · Anxiety

· Depression
· Child-parent concerns- using mediation and parent coaching, I enjoy helping adults build stronger attachment with their children, youth and adult children. 

I also have a great interest in life coaching, helping you reach your next step in your journey with trauma informed, evidence based clinical skills.

I look forward to supporting you through your journey and look forward to hearing from you!

I have known Sandra in our community work together and have always admired her ability to come up with clever solutions or see situations / perspectives most people tend to over look. Sandra has a way of connecting with her clients, building a relationship and offering support through experiences and transitions in a profound way. 

I myself have had the pleasure of being on the receiving end of Sandra's workings in an informal way and have always benefited from our chats and her ability to support those around her. Sandra has a way of being direct, efficient, solution focused but also holding space for curiosity, compassion and all your inner workings. Sandra offers not only counselling and psychotherapy but has a very strong background and knowledge in our community resources around the city helping her clients navigate all that is available around us. 

Please join me in welcoming Sandra to the Mindfully Me team and family!
