Believing that each person seeks to be whole and healthy, Sandy is interested in the growth of self awareness and the promotion of personal responsibility. As awareness increases, there is often a gain in the congruence between internal feeling and outward expression. Ultimately, when these aspects are less at odds, there is an increased esteem for the self.
Often working with dreamwork and creative arts therapy techniques, she offers opportunities for self growth. With these and other methods, symbolized "unfinished business" can be recognized, options recognized, and solutions found.
For some there is trauma in childhood. It may exhibit itself as depression, anxiety, eating disorders, addiction or some other difficulty in adult years. It may have come between an individual and their spiritual wholeness. The goal in psychotherapy is a full range of expression with responsibility and authenticity, and relationships with others which feel rewarding and fulfilling.
