Hi, I'm Andrea! Do you feel like “you are operating on autopilot”? Day in and day out you perform the same routines. And despite your best efforts you can’t seem to get ahead? Or are you still feeling haunted by past traumas that have been difficult to navigate? I specialize in helping people thrive by increasing insight and self-awareness, through self-exploration. Together, we will identify what's not working and get you back to your dreams. We'll use a holistic approach, addressing the needs of your mind, body, and spirit. I also integrate mindful-based practices and solution-focused goals to help you get out of survivor mode and become more intentional, intuitive, and inspired. 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!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
After each session, you will have a greater sense of self and practical tools to use in your daily life.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
My therapeutic approach is rooted in Gestalt psychology, which examines the needs of a person as a whole being (mind, body, and soul), not hyper-focusing on one part to achieve full integration. Somatic experiencing techniques will help with working through traumas, negative beliefs, and strong emotions that are stored within the body. We will then use these new understandings and insights, to help create a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
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.
