Hello! I'm Andrea, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with approximately 15 years of experience in the field. I have worked in a variety settings include inpatient facilities and outpatient clinics. However, for the last 9 years I worked exclusively in tele-health. My practice centers around helping people experiencing anxiety, stress, relationship and family issues, depression, and trauma symptoms to name a few.
My approach to therapy is collaborative, meaning we will both share our thoughts and ideas as we decide how we will work together. While it's important for me to guide you through the therapy process, I firmly believe that you know yourself best. My counseling style is friendly and laid back, but also engaging. I ask questions to encourage you to think about things in new ways, and I like to insert humor when appropriate. My main therapeutic approaches include CBT, DBT, solution-focused therapies, and mindfulness.
My goal is for you to learn to trust yourself through therapy and feel equipped with the tools you need to navigate your challenges with confidence when you're ready to leave therapy. I want my clients to feel comfortable being their authentic selves without fear of judgment. Having experienced therapy myself, I understand the importance of working with a clinician who provides a safe space and fosters a collaborative problem-solving environment.
