The daily pressures of life may leave you feeling burnt out, overwhelmed, or even depressed. You may have found that feeling different from those around you has lead you to question whether you'll ever find a sense of belonging or understanding. Past traumas and pain may continue to impact your life, making you feel stuck in old patterns, fears, and emotional wounds. As a trauma-informed holistic therapist, I’m dedicated to supporting individuals and families on their healing journey. I strive to empower my clients to overcome challenges, foster resilience, and live their most authentic lives.

I love helping couples and use Emotionally Focus Therapy in addition to CBT techniques.

Are you seeking a trauma-informed therapist who will show up authentically, listen without judgment, and extend compassion? Do you feel alone and like no one understands? I welcome you with compassionate curiosity, empathy, and kindness. I believe all clients have their own intuitive wisdom, but when we experience traumatic life experiences, we disconnect from ourselves and others for protection. Healing involves reconnection. A big part of this healing involves grief work. I support and guide clients as they grieve, heal, reconnect, and learn to trust the intuition that has always been there.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, my goal is to help people become the best version of themselves. No matter your past, I believe with the appropriate information, training and teaching your life can improve. I desire to help people experience transformation and restoration that will last. I have experience working with children, individuals and couples. I subscribe to a family systems approach when working with children and have found it is most beneficial to include parents and siblings in treatment. I also have a passion to help people who have experienced trauma and am trained in EMDR.

I have had the honor of working with adults/couples that have been wounded as children which can create wounded attachment patterns in their present life(s). Because these wounds can be experienced so young, an individual can be unaware of the pain and anger these unhealthy patterns bring to their present lives/relationships. The courageous adults that I have been privileged to support and help heal from situations of early trauma/abuse, whether it be inconsistent care-taking, abandonment, rejection, etc., have achieved success in facing all of life's challenges as a "whole" self versus a "partial" self.

I work with adolescents, families and adults struggling with a variety of emotional, psychological and behavioral issues. I provide both therapy and assessment in my practice. I focus on symptom management and reduction, coping skills, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, healthy living practices, and interpersonal relationships/effectiveness. I use different approaches to help clients work through individual and interpersonal difficulties and believe strongly in the concepts of self determination and self actualization. I also provide divorce mediation services.

Everyone struggles at some point in their lives, which is why I am passionate about finding the right therapy that works for each individua

Trauma, relationships, substance use, and life events can pose significant challenges to our well-being. I firmly believe in the healing power of a purpose-driven life and its potential to instill resilience and confidence. Choosing the right therapist is a crucial first step towards such a journey.

Life can be hard-- really hard. Sometimes, we are just trying to survive and we end up in a place we don’t want to be: depression, anger, anxiety, loneliness, hopelessness. Asking for help is an act of strength and courage. I have a passion for helping others find their way toward who they want to be. I can help you become more proactive, not just reacting to the circumstances of life. Understanding the past. Managing the present. Building for the future. It’s never too late for change! Life can be better if you are willing to do the work. Are you ready to begin?

Imagine waking up in the morning without that impending sense of dread, or the constant need to overthink things. Together, we’ll turn the volume down on that critical voice and start turning the volume up on the positive voice that’s waiting to breakthrough.

You seem to have it together, keeping up with work and life, and getting by. In the inside, however, you might feel anxious, distracted, overwhelmed, and exhausted. Your go to strategies to get by may not be helping like they used. It may be too much right now, but you do not have to face this on your own. I am here to help.

I don't have a specific client that is "ideal" as every client has their own unique history and backstory. I definitely look forward to meeting with people who are interested in self-growth but I also enjoy helping people get to the point to where the may be ready to work on their self-growth. If you are reading this, you would probably be the ideal client since you have taken the first step in just having that thought in your head about maybe it is time to give yourself the love you give to others and focusing on yourself.

I became a therapist because I want to support people as they work to become their truest selves. Change and growth are possible for everyone, no matter what the circumstances are. You are not alone, and there is nothing wrong with you. Whether you have experienced trauma, as many of us have, or whether you simply want to better understand yourself, therapy is an effective tool to get where you want to go.

Each person is on their own journey and has a unique story to tell. The journey of life is both difficult and beautiful. Along the way our challenges can lead us to feel hopelessly lost, but it is never too late to come back to ourselves. I have always been a person who values human connection and helping others. It is my joy to help people, of all walks of life, feel they are not alone and work towards the life they want.

Hi there, I'm Dinandrea! I am a compassionate, collective liberationist-oriented psychotherapist. I pull from politically-leftist, critical psychology as well as humanistic and existentialist frameworks. I center marginalized persons, including BIPOC and LGBTQIA persons. I understand that persons in need of psychotherapy are more than a set of symptoms and diagnoses; our mental health conditions are a complex mixture of ancestral, epigenetic, familial, social and societal histories, issues and dynamics that need to be explored, processed and affirmed in order to improve our condition and functioning.
