Hi! I’m Sandra Winans, a licensed psychologist, and I’m so glad you’re here! I specialize in working with teenagers and young adults, helping them navigate anxiety, stress, relationships, family conflicts, social struggles, self-esteem, and parenting challenges. My therapy style is relaxed and conversational, rooted in cognitive-behavioral techniques to help reframe negative thought patterns and build confidence. Think of me as your supportive guide—here to help you tackle life’s ups and downs with clarity and resilience.
I may also incorporate a sense of humor to create a comfortable and non-threatening environment for clients to explore their thoughts and feelings. I believe that humor can be a powerful tool for building resilience and coping skills, allowing clients to navigate life's challenges with greater ease and optimism.
Basically, I'm here to help you sort through the things that are difficult right now, and offer you a safe place to be open and honest without fear of judgment. Whether you are seeking a change for a more confident and joyful life or just need a non-judgmental ear to listen, I am here to support and encourage you!
