LCSW, 20 years of experience
My name is Andrea and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have worked in the field for over twenty years with clients who experienced family trauma including physical abuse, sexual abuse, and domestic violence I am passionate about building healthy skills and healing which prevents clients from a fulfilled and healthy life. I have warm interactive style and gently challenge clients to move out of their comfort zone to heal from what no longer serves them.
In my first session, I want to learn about you. This entails the positive qualities about people. I want to know what experiences worked and did not work if you had therapy in past. Finally, I address the long-term outcome desired by the client.
As a provider, my greatest strength is my flexibility and adaptability. With feedback from clients, I can address and change interventions which are not providing optimal outcomes . My second strength is my warmth and sense of humor. Finally, I am reliable to ensure continuity of care.
Clients I work with are interactive, like humor, and provide feedback about their experiences in therapy about what is working for them and what is not so I can serve them
I have utilized the primary concepts of CBT for several years. The connection between our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors have a unique interplay in our lives. The more we are in-touch with our thoughts and feelings, the healthier choices people make.
I have conducted family therapy for several years and was the foundation of my Masters Degree. Families face unique challenges, trauma often the trigger, and several techniques and skills are utilized to build a healthy foundation for all.

I felt when I seen her face she kinda reminds me of my aunt. I was able to open up an express more. She answered my questions before I could even ask them. She was one point she gave me the empathy that I needed. She also showed me sympathy through Things that my children have went through. I really appreciate the therapist that I have and that she’s willing to work with me in my chaos and help me get back on track. She really is a blessing. Thank you.
