About Sandra
Sandra Terifaj is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 35 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, low self esteem, relationship and intimacy concerns, and other life transitions. Sandra aims to create a straightforward space where clients can name what’s hard and begin to move forward.
She takes a collaborative, down-to-earth approach. Sessions focus on what the client wants to change and practical steps to get there. Sandra uses a mix of client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral tools, psychodynamic ideas, mindfulness, and Internal Family Systems to tailor work to each person.
In practice she guides clients to identify patterns that keep them stuck. That might mean noticing thoughts that fuel anxiety, exploring early relationships that shaped self worth, or practicing present-moment skills to reduce cravings and reactivity. Conversations are paced to match the client’s needs and comfort level.
Her background includes independent practice and supervising interns at nonprofit agencies. This experience informs a flexible style that blends supportive listening with clear strategies. Sandra works in California and conducts sessions in English.
