Sasha is a bilingual clinician dedicated to helping individuals overcome trauma, ADHD, and related mental health challenges. She combines firmness, empathy, and humor to build trust and create meaningful change through a neuroscience-based, holistic approach—especially for those feeling frustrated with themselves.
An honors graduate of California Baptist University and California State University, Northridge (B.A. in Communication Studies), Sasha transitioned from a career as a news reporter to social work to align with her passion for authenticity and lasting impact. Her personal experiences as a ward of the court in her youth shaped her resilience and deepened her commitment to advocating for at-risk and misunderstood populations. She also attributes much of her approach to her faith and her understanding of trauma bonds, relationship addictions, and attachment complexities. She firmly believes that, with the proper support, healing is always possible.
As the Founder and Dir. of Psych. Ed. at Sasha Consulting Co., Sasha conducts workshops and seminars, supporting organizations through program evaluations that enhance mental health literacy, empower stakeholders to navigate challenges with confidence, and drive systemic change at both local and state levels.
In her clinical practice, she integrates Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Motivational Interviewing, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and strength-based approaches to support clients. She is currently pursuing certifications in Compassionate Inquiry and Internal Family Systems (IFS)—two evidence-based models that address trauma, foster self-awareness, and promote healing through a deeper understanding of the self and internal parts.
Beyond her professional work, Sasha enjoys traveling with loved ones, attending symphonies, playing the piano, and serving at her local church. Her mission is to inspire hope, foster healing, and empower others to overcome their challenges—always remembering, “The greater the struggle, the greater the victory.”
From anxiety and depression to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), we utilize holistic talk therapies and innovative treatments like eye movement desensitization reprocessing (EMDR).
