Hello, I’m Sandra — the founder of Mindfully Balanced.
My deepest commitment is to walk beside you as you heal, grow, and reconnect with the parts of yourself you may have lost along the way. And while I hold the title of Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I want you to know that beneath it all, I am simply another human being — someone who understands struggle, resilience, and the courage it takes to seek support. I extend a heartfelt welcome to you. If you choose to begin your journey here, you will be met with compassion, safety, and genuine presence. I take great pride in creating a space where you can show up fully.
Our practice specializes in trauma-informed therapy and is fully certified in EMDR. EMDR works by helping you access the deeper emotional wounds held in the body and nervous system—allowing healing to occur at the root, not just the surface. This approach empowers clients to move beyond symptoms, release what has been carried for too long, and step into mean
I know how hard it can be to take that first step toward healing. You might feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of where to begin—and that’s okay. You don’t have to have it all figured out. Therapy is a space where you can show up just as you are, and I’ll meet you there with compassion, curiosity, and care. Please contact me for a 15 min consultation
