Sanya’s Approach

Sanya’s approach to therapy is unique in that it does not use one specific method for healing, but uses the best parts of many different methods of healing and then tailors treatment for the each individual patient to address their individual spiritual, emotional and mental health needs and addressing the personal stressors in their life.

Sanya’s positive approach pays close attention to the use of language and how an individua’s stories create meaning. Sanya believe that each individual has a unique view of the world, and how that individual’s reality is perceived is central to understanding the individual.

Sanya is also trained in clinical hypnosis, a technique she uses to teach the client to use relaxation techniques and visualization to cope with fears, anxieties, depression and/or other behavioral issues that may prevent the person to be truly satisfied with his or her self.

Sanya is committed to building a caring, safe and supportive relationship with her clients while helping them achieve personal growth, enhance their quality of life, increase their coping skills, enhance their positive thought patterns, improve their interpersonal relationships, build a healthier lifestyle and resolve past and/or current conflicts.
