Hi all! My name is Sandra Alvarez and I was born and raised in San Diego, CA. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. (hablo español!) I have 7 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, and families. As a proud first-generation Mexican American, I am committed to serving the Latinx community and creating spaces where you feel truly understood and supported.
I earned my Master’s degree from Palo Alto University, where I built a strong foundation in clinical practice and culturally responsive care. My therapeutic style is strength-based, person-centered, and collaborative meaning I work alongside you, focusing on your unique strengths while offering compassion and patience.
I specialize in helping clients navigate a range of challenges, including:
Anxiety and depression
Trauma and its lasting impacts
Behavioral and emotional concerns
Family dynamics and conflict resolution
No matter what brings you to therapy, my goal is to provide a safe, supportive environment where you can feel empowered to explore, heal, and grow.
