Hello there!
Of course I have all the regular credentials of a traditional counselor such as a license and over 25 years of experience, but my best quality, ( I think) is my love for others! We are all living in unprecedented times and each of us sometimes has to bear burdens unique to our situations. As a Christian my perspective of working with others is to reflect Christs love, faith, compassion, honor, and humility to those who are hurting. I use my since of genuine warmth, and humor to engage people in their quest for a better life. My approach is also guided by trauma informed philosophies as well as several cognitive behavioral strategies. Often times I see that therapy allows us to unpack adverse events or patterns in our lives, in a safe non-judgmental, supportive incubator, that is the wonderful relationship found in therapy. It would be my honor to accompany you on your journey to wellness and healing.
Kindest regards,
Andrea

Andrea has done a great job at helping me navigate my life’s situations. I feel completely comfortable with her and am glad I chose her as my therapist.

I was very nervous about having to switch counselors suddenly and finding someone just as good. Andrea is just as good! She has excellent insight but gives the space to come to your own conclusions. She is absolutely encouraging and I’ve thoroughly benefited from our sessions.
