Ever since I was a young child I wanted to understand why people are the way they are. While working at the VA, I learned a deep understanding and love for working with PTSD and complex trauma. We will work to fully understand the impact of past traumas on your current relationships and sense of self. Understanding the deeper often repetitive and intergenerational trauma patterns is a powerful tool for change. Together in a safe space, we will work towards achieving your treatment goals and understand the whys of your behaviors.

I'm Andrea, a postmodern and strengths-based therapist with four years of clinical experience who sees individuals, romantic couples, and families. Some areas I have focused on in my work include Infidelity, Relationship Issues, Marital/Pre-Marital, Grief, and Men's Issues. My therapeutic approach is nondirective and client-focused, utilizing a mix of Couples Therapy, Family Systems, Gottman Method, Marital, and Solution Focused Brief (SFBT). I believe I can help you co-create solutions to various situations and problems in your life.

Within everyone's story, there are spaces where we need someone to walk alongside us and find a path towards healing, organization of self, and navigating relationships, diagnoses, or difficult times. If you are looking for therapy and here, on this page, you have already begun the journey. It is possible to find healing, solutions, and organization.

Many people long to be different, but lack that “something” that will make the difference. Many people feel alone, ashamed, and hopeless. Many people are stuck in continuing cycles of pain and feel disconnected from life and love. But this doesn’t have to be you. It can be a challenge, but peace, joy, and hope are available to you. There is a way to heal and learn to enjoy life in an ever-deepening way. My goal as a therapist is to help my clients find that "something" that will make the difference, to help them know they are not alone, and to move beyond shame and doubt. In other words, my goal is to help my clients flourish.

Are your intrusive thoughts your road blocker? Have you found yourself helping others while feeling like your needs are being overlooked?

I help stepfamily couples and single parents find the quickest path possible to confidence, support, and a workable plan that moves you in the direction of your goals from our first session- even in the most challenging situations. I partner with single parents to create a better life for you and your children; reduce the overwhelm, heal from your breakup; and move forward successfully. With blended family couples, we work together to manage stepparenting/stepchild issues, deal effectively with exes, and/or work through issues, so you can get back to the love and passion that brought you together. Video conference/phone appts available.

“We are hurt in relationship; we heal in relationship” is the core conviction of my therapeutic approach. From the time our earliest map forms in our families, we see the world through the lens of our experience. It’s through relationships that our worldview expands and our sense-of-self matures, especially if we take time for inquiry and insight, and to integrate what we learn. I work from a self-in-context perspective, deeply attuning to the ways not only our family, religion, and culture impact us, but how inequities around race, gender, and sexuality inform our sense of self-and-other as well.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor since 1994,I have been dedicated to working with children, adolescents and families dealing with life challenges. I believe that we all have the inner strength and resources to improve our lives, but at certain times, may need to seek a counselor to help with life's difficulties or issues from the past. In my practice, I give clients hope and work collaboratively with them to address the issues impacting them. I have experience with children, adolescents, adults, couples and families. My practice offers a safe and encouraging environment where growth and change can occur.

Are you experiencing the negative effects of trauma or transition in your life, work, and relationships? Have you received a difficult diagnosis, whether related to your mental or physical health? As a therapist, I work with couples and individuals alike who may be struggling to navigate particularly challenging periods, including those related to significant life changes and traumas. Working together, we can turn your pain into possibility. My role is to walk hand-in-hand with my clients throughout the counseling process to reduce the feelings of grief, worry, and confusion they grapple with.

I want to help you live your best life. We live in challenging times, and it’s often hard to know what to do in the face of adversity, but you don’t have to go through it alone. I believe in your ability to overcome life’s obstacles and create a life based on emotional stability and joy. I embrace people from all walks of life with unconditional acceptance and without judgment or preconceived ideas. You are a unique individual with experiences specific to you alone. I will provide you with a safe environment in which to explore your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs. I want to help you honor your voice and live your truth.

I have been in practice for 22 years and I am dedicated in providing quality care to my clients in a supportive private practice. I feel very privileged in my work and I consider it a honor that they have shared their lives with me. I hold a deep respect for my clients.

Please feel free to contact my office as I am accepting new clients and CISM referrals.

Life's challenges can sometimes disrupt our lives or bring about certain obstacles. These big life transitions can sometimes look like career change, communication issues, everyday stressors, anxiety, grief, or family conflict.

Currently accepting new clients, in-person & teletherapy available. Stepping into the process of counseling takes courage, vulnerability, creativity, and curiosity. It requires the use of one’s whole self—body, mind, emotion and spirit. We also all need community to do the work of healing. Finding a trusted counselor can be one such communal support as you move through the process of excavating who you really are from beneath confusing and toxic layers of culture, religion, family messages, trauma, and unhealthy beliefs about yourself and others.

A new day means a new opportunity… I’m humbled and enthused to share in your experiences, challenges, and accomplishments as we navigate through life. Therapy can be scary and new for many, and although that may be true, I want to reassure you that this is the space and the place to grow in ways that are truly life changing.

Do you ever feel like you and your therapist are worlds apart? Like they simply don’t understand you or can only offer you a textbook approach? Well, I’d like to offer you a more personable approach that is founded on evidence-based practices as well as life experience. I have experience with the general adult population, LGBTQ issues, anxiety, depression, trauma, and domestic violence.

I specialize in working with couples and individuals with relationship problems. I also conduct forensic evaluations for cases involving intimate partner violence. As a relationship researcher for the past 25 years, I am applying research to help couples and individuals with communication, sexual, or other problems by offering couples' assessments, therapy, & forensic evaluations. Combining the work of my Ph.D. mentors, Dr. John Gottman and Dr. Neil Jacobson, my scientifically-based couples therapy combines Gottman Couples Therapy and Integrative Behavioral Couples Therapy. My approach is direct, short-term and effective.
