We are all conditioned to do the things that we do through our past experiences and past interactions. If we knew something else, then we would do something else. A need for connection or protection drives us. While we may have behaviors or patterns of thought that served us at a previous time, they may now be less effective or destructive to our current relationships and lives. It is truly an awakening experience of self-discovery when we learn how we have been impacted by the past and what we desire for our future.
My areas of focus include trauma, grief and loss, sexual and relational issues, faith transitions, religious trauma, and challenges with self-worth and self-acceptance. I seek to compassionately understand my clients and help them learn how their personal experiences, mind, and body have shaped their patterns, actions, and beliefs.
I know personally and professionally the turmoil that comes with trauma, grief, loss, and other psychological distress. I empathize with all who are seeking refuge and healing. If you are on the fence about therapy, I can assure you that there are ways to move in a helpful direction. While the path can be difficult, healing is always worth it.

I frequently work with clients who may be struggling with mood dysregulation and/or trauma. Sometimes these issues are easily identified and understood, and at other times they are more complex and developed across various life experiences. I work with clients in initial sessions to learn what factors are contributing most and a plan to help manage or release those things from their lives.

I love sending clients to Andrew because I know they will have a good experience. He creates an environment that allows a person to ease into the therapeutic process. He strikes the difficult balance between comfort and growth. I highly recommend him.

I've collaborated with Andrew for 5 years now, I value his clinical insight when I need a second opinion on a clinical barrier. I think he is a great fit for anyone looking to develop more insight into themselves, their values, and their past.
