Is your relationship falling short of all that you had hoped it would be?

Do you remember what brought you both together and long for the time when you were both free to just enjoy each other and felt deeply connected? It is easy to become distracted and slip into a routine.I want to help you reconnect with your partner and feel that closeness and love that brought you both together.

Hello there, I’m Andrea! But, please feel free to call me Andy. First off congratulations on seeking the support you deserve. I know it tends to be a difficult step in our journey towards healing. That being said, aren’t you tired of carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders and navigating through life in autopilot? Do you struggle to tolerate the distress that comes from everyday living? Are you constantly finding yourself trying to overcompensate from old wounds, betrayals, and childhood trauma?

I remember the first time I decided to seek therapy. I remember the mixed emotions of anxiety, fear, being overwhelmed, not knowing what to look for, or where to go. It can be especially hard if you identify as BIPOC and/or LGBTQIA+. You can rest assured that all of those feelings are valid and normal. Don't let fear prevent you from reaching out for help with the issues you are going through. I am here to hold space for you and offer a supportive, unbiased, non-judgmental environment. I will stand by you on your healing journey as your guide. You don’t have to go through this alone.

We all possess natural wisdom and the inherent capacity for health and healing. By engaging in mindfulness and loving kindness practices and principles we can take an honest look at ourselves, cultivate gentleness and compassion and work more skillfully with the make-up that we have. With this as our foundation we can realize that times of difficulty and struggle are also opportunities for tremendous growth and discovery.

Currently Accepting New Clients... I strive to provide a nonjudgmental environment that allows each client to achieve their goals and speak their truths. Finding and more importantly trusting a therapist can be a challenging task and I am here to make this experience as easy as possible. I know that at our hardest moments in life, reaching out for help can take all of our energy and I am here to provide the support you need in the process.

There is no ideal client, just an ideal concept, the belief in self. We work to build that through conversations about your past present and future, and conquering trauma as a means of living in the now.

My Treatment Mission is to provide cutting edge psychotherapy treatment services for individuals and families applying specializations in developmental psychology, relationship-based treatment, biological individual differences, and interdisciplinary collaboration. I deliver advanced methodologies, which are unique in Southwest Florida, for children 0-5 and for individuals of any age with what are often misunderstood neurodevelopment issues: including, but not limited to, issues of attachment, autism spectrum, mood disorders, and in utero toxic exposure. I also treat survivors of trauma, those seeking therapy for personal growth and help in working through challenging life events and relationships.

***ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS*** ***I am also credentialed to do video therapy*** For more info check out my website and media interviews. I do not believe there is an ideal client. In my years of work I have encountered many people with many reasons for why they are the way they are. What I know is that if you are open to the process, we can figure it out. Most of my clients are nervous when they come for the first time, and rightfully so. It's anxiety provoking to talk to a stranger about your "stuff." Despite that hesitancy they overwhelmingly experience relief and begin to see a path forward after we start our work together.
