About andrea 

I help women heal from the roots of their discomfort so they can create the life they have always dreamed of. My practice focuses on helping you navigate relationships and family dynamics, heal from past experiences, strengthen your connection with yourself, and work toward the goals that matter most to you. For mothers, I also provide support with implementing positive, connection-based parenting strategies.
I have spent many years exploring my own inner world and healing my inner child, which has led me to recognize that supporting women, children, and adolescents is deeply connected to my life’s purpose. I have completed eight years of formal academic training and have provided psychotherapy in school settings and within group practices serving women and children. Most importantly, I have experienced my own therapeutic journey and know firsthand how transformative therapy can be. I believe that personal healing allows us to create meaningful change not only within ourselves, but also in the relationships and families around us.
My approach is integrative and deeply rooted in the belief that you are the expert on your own life. My role is to walk beside you, holding a light so that, little by little, we can bring awareness to what needs to heal. I draw from humanistic approaches, including client-centered therapy, Gestalt, attachment theory, and transactional analysis, while also incorporating evidence-based trauma treatment.
I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a trauma-focused approach that can help the mind and nervous system process experiences that may continue to affect you in the present. I integrate EMDR thoughtfully with my humanistic approach, creating a foundation of safety, trust, and emotional regulation before moving into deeper trauma processing. My goal is not simply to help you manage your symptoms, but to understand and heal the experiences beneath them.
I will never overwhelm you with psychological terminology. Instead, I will offer practical and meaningful tools drawn from these approaches to help you better understand yourself, heal your story from its roots, and create lasting change.
It is truly an honor to accompany women through their psychotherapy journey. If you are ready to begin exploring your story and reconnecting with yourself, I would be honored to walk alongside you.
I am currently accepting new clients via telehealth and look forward to working with you.
