Life can be challenging, but you don’t have to go at it alone. My name is Andrea, and I am here to offer guidance, helping you dive deeper into your sense of self, the world, and how you experience it. Through clinical tools and exploration, I will help you construct a life that feels aligned with the one you have always envisioned for yourself. Through client-tailored techniques, we will work through your unique experiences while overcoming obstacles to help you live your best life. My empathy-first and inclusive approach to individual and couples therapy will help get you to a place of healing, peace, and wellbeing.
Grateful Guidance offers clinical and expert tools in an inclusive environment, helping you feel comfortable and inspired to make powerful strides towards creating a life you love. People often come to me with challenges related to stress, anxiety, depression, pregnancy, postpartum, trauma, interpersonal conflict, etc.
Grateful guidance incorporates both gratitude and counseling, creating a fully-inclusive practice. I currently offer walk and talk sessions, group or individual yoga classes, and will soon be offering meditation classes to supplement therapy. This wraparound approach will help our clients live their best life now and in the future.
