Great to meet you!

You've gotten good at holding things together for everyone else, while what happened to you, or the loss you're still carrying, waits quietly in the background. You don't have to keep managing that alone. I'm Andrea, a Licensed Independent Social Worker with almost twenty years in direct care and social services, and for several years now my clinical work has centered on survivors of abuse and trauma. I also work with people navigating grief, depression, anxiety, relationship strain, and the daily weight of parenting. Whatever brought you here, we will go at a pace that respects what you have already survived.

My approach to therapy

Our sessions are built on real conversation, not formal structure. There is room for tears, laughter, and everything between as we work through what is hard. With trauma, I help you make sense of what happened and gain distance from feelings that still show up. For parents, I coach you as you play with your child, so new patterns take root at home.

What you can expect from me

Reaching out can feel like the hardest part, especially when it is hard to say out loud. You do not need your whole story ready. We start with a conversation and decide together whether I am the right fit. I will notice your progress, even the small parts, and build from what is already working. When you are ready, I would be glad to talk with you.
