Sandra Karnazes

She/Her
Sandra
is a therapist at Two Chairs.
Sandra is motivated to help people bring more of their authentic selves to their relationships, careers, and passions while helping them to identify obstacles to overcome as well as their interpersonal strengths that can be used to address their challenges. She genuinely loves getting to know her clients and collaborates in building a therapeutic approach that works for each person’s goals and preferences.

In her spare time she likes to cook, eat, and enjoy the outdoors as well as spending quality time with her husband, family and friends filled with laughter and good, sometimes deep conversation. She enjoys watching a good movie or documentary as much as reading an interesting book.
