Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 9 years of clinical experience. I understand that life has its ups and downs, and that sometimes we need some support to get us through. I work with a variety of issues, including: depression, anxiety, ADHD, life transitions, career transitions, trauma recovery, and chronic illness. I use a combination of CBT, DBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and other tools within a client-centered framework. I strive to provide an affirming space where clients can explore what matters to them, and begin making moves in that direction. Since 2021, I've developed a specialty in working with adults with ADHD, and I have obtained extensive training in this area. While I do not currently provide ADHD testing, I have worked with clients at all stages, including those still seeking diagnosis, the newly diagnosed, and those seeking more support in adulthood for any reason. As a neurodivergent provider, I understand the challenges of ADHD. I aim to provide an affirming space for clients to fully understand how they are "wired", build self-compassion, and build coping skills and tools that work for them. **Scheduling note: Please note, due to schedule limitations, I am currently booking for morning and afternoon only.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, we'll talk about what you're struggling with, and go over some questions for a mental health assessment. We'll set some initial goals for our work together. The first few sessions will help me to get to know you better, and get you started with some coping skills, if that fits for you.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I strive to provide a space where clients can explore what matters to them, and make moves in that direction.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I work well with clients who are seeking to reconnect with their values, or what brings meaning to their lives. I understand that life can be difficult and overwhelming, and things can get in their way of our doing what matters to us. I enjoy helping people to heal from experiences that may have led to self-limiting beliefs, post-traumatic stress, or areas where they feel stuck. I work well with teachers, caregivers, and others who may be wanting more room in their life for self-care. I also work well with those looking to build a better work-life balance, or make a career transition. Since 2021, I've developed a specialty in working with adults with ADHD, and I have obtained extensive training in this area. I've worked with clients at all stages, from the newly diagnosed, to those seeking diagnosis, to those seeking support in adulthood for any reason. If you're looking for a safe space to explore what it means to be differently-wired, we will probably be a good fit. I work well with clients who are looking to build more self-compassion as they move through life transitions or stressors, in how this interacts with having a differently-wired brain. I enjoy helping clients with ADHD to explore what well-being looks like for them, since it's different for everyone. This might involve becoming more productive at work or school, more organized, or simply to reduce stress and feel more supported. I help clients develop a set of tools to build their well-being, move through life transitions in a less stressful way, or reach their goals.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I am trained in Cognitive Behavior Therapy, which is the gold standard for many conditions, including depression, anxiety, and ADHD. I enjoy using CBT since it helps to identify thoughts and behaviors that could be worsening, or perpetuating their symptoms. It gives us a way to work together, collaboratively, to figure out things that will bring relief.
EMDR
I am an EMDR Trained (Level II) therapist with 5 years of experience. I use EMDR to help clients find relief from PTSD or trauma-related symptoms, and/or to overcome issues arising from painful past experiences.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
With 20 years' experience practicing mindfulness, I have found ACT to be a natural fit for me. I use mindfulness-based ACT skills to help clients detach from difficult or persistent symptoms. I often support clients in exploring their values, i.e. what brings meaning to their lives, and making decisions to move in that direction.

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!
