Trained and certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) under the EMDR Institute, she has seen people’s “negative, stuck thinking” healed with EMDR and watched them overcome discouragement and fears and improve their relationships. Sandy works with adult men and women who faced childhood abuse or neglect and are now motivated to experience change. Sandy is also passionate about working with individuals, couples, and families affected by drug or alcohol dependence.
