She specializes in helping children and adolescents navigate behavioral challenges, school avoidance, and developmental differences, and offers tailored support to parents and caregivers.
Sandra’s clinical approach integrates medication management with a collaborative, strengths-based philosophy, ensuring that treatment is both effective and aligned with each patient’s unique needs.
