About Andrea
She began her career in an inpatient dual diagnosis unit and later provided therapy within a federal program focused on life decision support. Andrea also ran an outpatient clinic and has clinical experience with a wide age range of clients. Those early roles shaped her practical approach to care.
Andrea conducts initial evaluations and draws on that history when forming treatment plans. She commonly works with concerns such as self-esteem, communication problems, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strain, and addictions. Her additional focuses include attachment issues, blended family challenges, body image, caregiver stress, and ADHD-related struggles.
Her style is collaborative and straightforward. Andrea listens first and tailors strategies rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions. She aims to be honest, friendly, and nonjudgmental so people can bring up difficult or embarrassing topics without worry.
Andrea uses cognitive behavioral methods alongside client-centered dialogue and mindfulness practices when those approaches fit a person’s needs. She has also applied dialectical behavior and emotionally-focused ideas in her work. Treatment plans are shaped to the individual rather than driven by a single technique.
Sessions are offered in English and Andrea has been providing online therapy for several years. Prospective clients start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to therapist availability.
