Hi, I’m Sandra
This isn’t just a business—it’s a reflection of what we believe in.
If you’re struggling with gambling, compulsive behaviors, mental health, or the lasting effects of trauma, you’re not alone—and help is available. Healing doesn’t require perfection or having all the answers. It starts with feeling understood and supported.
My Approach
What You Can Expect
Clients often describe me as compassionate, grounded, and easy to talk to. I focus on creating a safe, respectful, and nonjudgmental space where you can speak openly and feel genuinely heard. Whether you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin, we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you.
Integrated Psychiatry
I am a nationally board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC). I am the creator of Neurobehavioral Awareness Training™ (NBAT) and the co-creator of The Lilac Grove Integrated Recovery (LGIR) Model™.
I am licensed in Arizona, New Jersey, and Washington. I hold a master’s degree in Behavioral Science and Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing. I am also a doctoral student in Forensic Psychology, specializing in Victimology, which shapes my trauma-informed, evidence-based approach to care.
I provide psychiatric care through in-person and online telehealth platforms. My work is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in a deep understanding of how trauma, neurobiology, and behavior intersect in complex mental health and addiction concerns.
