About Andrea
She focuses on trauma and abuse, along with anxiety, depression, grief, and stress. Andrea also supports people facing relationship strain, challenges with self-esteem, mood disorders, ADHD, and issues connected to adoption, foster care, or family of origin. Her background includes work in agency and university settings and collaboration with law enforcement and foster-care systems in face-to-face practice.
Andrea favors a person-centered style that aims to meet people where they are. Sessions emphasize strengths and practical skills so clients can handle day-to-day problems and build toward longer-term goals. She uses methods drawn from Trauma-Focused Therapy, client-centered work, cognitive behavioral approaches, mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques.
In sessions she helps people clarify what matters to them, practice skills to manage mood and anxiety, and address the impact of past hurt. She guides step-by-step problem solving and uses brief, focused strategies when helpful. The overall aim is steady progress and clearer choices for moving ahead.
Andrea welcomes questions about her approach and the issues she addresses. Prospective clients are encouraged to confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking.
Approaches and what online work can look like
Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people address the impact of past hurt by working through traumatic memories and their effects on daily life. It aims to reduce ongoing symptoms and teach coping skills that make day-to-day functioning easier.Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person’s experience and preferences. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps the client make their own decisions about change and priorities.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It teaches practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and mood symptoms through structured exercises and homework.
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their goals and comfort level and may adjust the plan as progress is made.
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. Many people find remote sessions convenient for continuing steady work on trauma, anxiety, or mood challenges while balancing everyday responsibilities.
