About Andrea
She focuses on meeting people where they are. Sessions center on understanding current thoughts and habits that shape daily life. Andrea uses goal-oriented conversation to build skills and small changes that add up over time.
Her background includes work in agency and university settings as well as collaborations with law enforcement and foster-care systems. That experience informs how she talks about trauma, grief, and life transitions with people in practical terms. She draws on methods that directly address thoughts, behaviors, and coping skills.
In the room she aims for straightforward conversation and steady pacing. She encourages strength-based reflection so people can notice what already helps them and use those strengths more often. The goal is clearer routines, more helpful thinking, and better ways to handle stress.
Andrea sees therapy as a team effort. She helps people set small, achievable goals and checks progress along the way. If you want someone who focuses on thoughts, everyday habits, and practical coping, Andrea offers a focused, experienced approach.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy is about being heard and respected. It emphasizes understanding each person's perspective and building a collaborative relationship that helps people set meaningful goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behaviors. It uses practical exercises and simple homework to change unhelpful thinking and develop new habits for anxiety, depression, and stress.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches ways to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without getting swept away by them. It can help reduce reactivity and improve focus when daily routines or strong emotions feel overwhelming.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and tailor techniques to fit a person's goals, preferences, and everyday demands in a collaborative way.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session formats available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people practice skills in the settings where they live and work, which can speed up applying new habits to daily life.
