Hi, I'm Andrea! Have you ever told a “funny” childhood story that didn’t get the laughs you expected? Do you wake up feeling inexplicably angry or irritable? Or maybe you’re excelling professionally—whether in a career or as a dedicated stay-at-home parent—but still feel unfulfilled in your relationships, friendships, spirituality, or finances? Do you find yourself repeating the same patterns in relationships or job situations despite your best efforts to change? As someone who has navigated trauma myself, I know that survival instincts can become ingrained, protecting us in the moment but eventually leading to a life on autopilot. Whether you're dealing with analysis paralysis, relationship issues or cycles of anxiety and depression, I'm here to help. Seeking therapy can feel scary but you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the habits holding you back. Let's work together!
In our first session, we'll begin by discussing what brought you to therapy and identify the areas you'd like to prioritize. Using a body-mind approach, we'll focus on regulating your nervous system by tuning into the signals your body provides. Throughout our work together, you'll learn how to interpret these signals to make more authentic and empowered decisions that align with your true self.
As a trauma specialist, I have extensive knowledge in helping survivors of childhood abuse (sexual, physical, neglect) and additional complex traumas achieve long-term change. Areas we will focus on are relationship issues, conflict resolution, anger/depression management, and substance use.
I specialize in supporting individuals who have triumphed over trauma (i.e. ongoing childhood abuse (sexual, physical, neglect) and additional complex traumas) and are achieving success in their careers but find themselves facing challenges in relationships, finances, and self-identity. My goal is to help you navigate these areas with the same strength and resilience you've shown professionally, guiding you toward a balanced and fulfilling personal journey.
