Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 9 years of clinical experience. I understand that life can be challenging, and sometimes we need some support to get us through. I use a combination of Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), EMDR Therapy, and other approaches, within a person-centered, affirming framework. I provide a safe space for clients to process their experiences, and find ways to move toward the things that matter to them. Since 2021, I've developed a specialty in adult ADHD. As a neurodivergent therapist, I understand the complexity of being "differently-wired". I have extensive experience helping clients with ADHD, including the late-diagnosed, to those who have known for awhile, but find themselves needing some extra support. I understand that ADHD can present differently at different times in our lives, such as a life transition, job change, moving, or going back to school. I am passionate about helping neurodivergent clients develop self-compassion, and find the skills and tools that best fit their lifestyle. **Please note: while I am licensed therapist, I do not provide treatment for all conditions. Referrals will be provided for concerns that fall outside my scope of practice.*

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session, I'll be getting to know you and what brings you to therapy, and making sure that we are a good fit. We'll set some goals to get us started.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I provide a safe space for clients to fully understand themselves, including their identity, values, and interests.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I work well with clients who may struggle with perfectionism, burnout, or people-pleasing patterns, and who are looking to build up their self-esteem, values, or move through some kind of life transition. I work well with those who may have a strong sense of their values, but have been feeling blocked in moving toward those for any reason. I also work with those who have had health conditions or chronic stress, and are looking to discover ways to increase their well-being.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based therapy that can help with many issues. It can help us get specific about patterns you might like to change, and come up with small changes or coping skills that feel do-able.

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

ACT is an approach that uses mindfulness to help you self-soothe and get perspective. It puts a focus on figuring out your values, and ways to move towards them more easily.

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!
