(she/her)
Hello! My name is Dr. Andrea Espinoza and I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Southern California. I have over 5 years of experience and I see my role as someone to help guide young adults and families on their journey and strive to empower people to live their most authentic lives. By taking a deeper look at how our stories shape our views, we can learn to embrace and express our selves in healthy ways.
In our first meeting, I want to create a safe place for us to be able to explore and collaborate together. In order to do this, I need to get an understanding of how I might be able to help you and will be asking questions, which I also invite you to do with me.
I am strength based, client centered and collaborative. I do not strive to tell anyone how to live, but to help people find their preferred path. .
I enjoy working with young adults and new families forging their future. I am collaborative in nature and believe the client is the expert of their life; my role is to help their journey. I want to empower those I work with to enable them to live authentically.
Narrative
I prefer a Narrative approach in the work that I do, which allows me to help others in considering perspectives in their stories which could help alleviate problems experienced and contribute to a more preferred existence, or story.
