Andrea is a Registered Clinical Counsellor (British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors) and a Certified Canadian Counsellor with the Canadian Counselling & Psychotherapy Association. She received her Master of Counselling Psychology degree from Yorkville University in Fredricton, New Brunswick (August 2021). Her extensive experience working with individuals struggling with persistent mental health challenges in a peer support framework, sparked her desire to become a clinical counsellor. She supports solution-focused, client-centred, and recovery-oriented philosophies rooted in strength, growth, and resiliency.
She believes that with the right support individuals have a boundless ability to mobilize change and growth in their lives. She has worked with a diverse group of individuals with varying challenges including anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns while they overcome barriers, build autonomy and improve their quality of life on their own terms.
I treat my clients with unconditional positive regard and without judgment. I strive to meet clients where they are at in a safe and trauma-informed way. Please reach out to me with any questions you may have. Happy to connect to discuss your goals for therapy and ways that therapy can be affordable for you.

Strength-based, Cognitive Behavioural, Solution-focused, and Adlerian approaches are commonly used in my practice to help clients recognize their innate ability to change and grow. By identifying unhelpful thoughts, feelings and behaviours, we will work to find coping strategies and other techniques to allow them to best address these patterns and to find adaptations which allow them to thrive.
