I empower young adults and women experiencing burnout, trauma, anxiety, and depression—especially those who are highly sensitive, creative, empathetic, or introverted. In our overstimulating world, it's easy to fall into unhealthy patterns or relationships in an effort to feel a sense of belonging. Through talk therapy and creative approaches, I help ground the nervous system, creating space for healing and peace to begin.
It's possible to gain a renewed quality of life & find resilience. We can explore and experience the parts of the internal self through talk therapy as well as other modalities. An imaginative approach to therapy with verbal & non-verbal therapies may also be included if you desire... there is no expectation other than to simply show up and be yourself.
Asking for help and following through can be challenging. I understand life’s twists and turns, and I’m here to walk alongside you. Change is inevitable, but how we respond to it shapes our experience. To support you in making the best decision for yourself, I offer a free “meet and greet” session to answer any questions you may have before booking.

Chrissandra has a variety of amazing skills she draws upon to support people on their healing journey. Her Soundscape session with a group left me feeling relaxed and recalibrated and a series of Biofield Tunings helped to clear away baggage from the past.

I strive to attune to each client's pace, creating a therapeutic experience that feels supportive and aligned with their needs. As part of this process, I may incorporate music or sound therapy to help regulate the nervous system before and/or after our sessions. Engaging in grounding practices through sound, breath, and intentional focus can enhance a sense of safety and connection.
