LPCC, 9 years of experience
Hello! I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Ohio, with 9 years of experience. I understand that life has its ups and downs, and that sometimes we need a safe space to process and feel supported. I work with several different concerns, including: depression, anxiety, ADHD, LGBTQ+ issues, career transitions, burnout recovery, and chronic illness. I strive to provide a space for clients to process emotions and to reconnect with things that bring meaning and joy in their lives. I enjoy helping clients learn coping skills to feel more grounded and calm in daily life, and to cope with conditions like anxiety, depression, PTSD, and ADHD. Since 2021, I've also developed a specialty in adult ADHD. I understand that ADHD shows up differently for everyone, and that it can make things complicated and challenging. I have the most experience with the following groups: women with ADHD; late-diagnosed ADHD; ADHD for career transitions; and those diagnosed in childhood, but who find themselves needing support because of a life transition. I take a neuro-affirming approach to therapy, helping clients to build on their strengths, while learning coping skills that feel supportive. **Scheduling note: Due to high demand for evenings, I am currently booking for morning and afternoon availability.
In our first session, we'll talk about what you're struggling with, and go over some questions for a mental health assessment. If you're ready, we will set some initial goals for therapy, although this can be flexible over time. The first few sessions of therapy will help me to get to know you better, and get you started with some coping skills, if that fits for you.
I strive to provide a space where clients feel fully understood.
I work well with clients who are seeking to reconnect with the things that bring them meaning. I understand that life can be stressful and can get in the way of our time with family and friends, self-care, or creative pursuits. I enjoy helping people to heal from past experiences that may have led to self-limiting beliefs, or areas where they may feel blocked. I work well with healthcare providers and caregivers, who may be having a hard time finding room for self-care; as well as those coping with chronic illness. I also work well with those looking to develop their career, make a career transition, or have better work-life balance. In therapy I use a combination of approaches, including: CBT, DBT, EMDR Therapy, ACT, mindfulness and others, depending on the client's preferences and needs. I come from a Person-Centered background, meaning that the development of who you are, and the things that are important to you, is always at the center of the process.
I use a variety of approaches, including Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), EMDR Therapy (AIP Model), Nonviolent Communication, neuro-affirming, feminist systems theory, and Person-Centered Therapy.

I have been working with Andrea off and on for several years. Andrea always creates a warm, welcoming, non-judgmental environment. She has a wealth of knowledge and a plethora of resources for a number of concerns. Andrea works holistically to ensure the client's wellbeing is being addressed by all relevant avenues.

Absolutely my favorite therapist! A pleasure to talk to and work on healing my trauma with. An exceptional therapist I would recommend to anyone, especially anyone who is neurodivergent!
