Hello, I'm Sandra! I was born and raised in Germany. I moved to Clarksville many years ago with my husband, a recently retired soldier. For nearly 20 years, we have lived and traveled all over the world. We have seen some truly amazing places. When it came to settling down, we loved Clarksville so much that we decided to move back

Hello, I'm Sandra! I was born and raised in Germany. I moved to Clarksville many years ago with my husband, a recently retired soldier. For nearly 20 years, we have lived and traveled all over the world. We have seen some truly amazing places. When it came to settling down, we loved Clarksville so much that we decided to move back

permanently in 2021. I am the mother of a wonderful transgender son. I have learned so much from him, and so many others over the years!

Being a part of the military community, living in so many different places around the world, and being a mother have ignited and inspired a deep passion for helping others in a safe space that is judgment-free and full of compassion. I understand just how challenging it can be to adjust to new people and places, navigate parenthood, and face all of the unique struggles that come with deployments, frequent moves, and military life. Going through my own challenges has allowed me to support others in an authentic way that cannot simply be taught in a textbook.

Outside of work, you will find me mainly at home and spending time with my family and friends, and as a German at heart, I really enjoy my coffee and occasionally cake

(Kaffee und Kuchen).

To me, the therapeutic relationship has always been the most important tool in my practice, creating that safe and non-judgmental space. I use a collaborative approach to help individuals navigate present-day challenges, process previous trauma, and overcome many different mental health diagnoses such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, C

To me, the therapeutic relationship has always been the most important tool in my practice, creating that safe and non-judgmental space. I use a collaborative approach to help individuals navigate present-day challenges, process previous trauma, and overcome many different mental health diagnoses such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, C-PTSD, etc. 

I have experience in working with immigrant mental health, women's issues, transgender issues, LGBTQ+, military & veteran issues, military transition challenges, and many others. 

 I believe that having a holistic

approach with a few sprinkles of appropriate modality such as CBT or ACT, can be such a healing experience. You can expect a warm and empathetic environment where you can take a deep breath and speak freely without fear of judgment or bias. I am here to help!

I look forward to meeting you and becoming a part of your healing journey!
