More about Andrea
- 7 years' experience
- Female
- LMHC
I am a licensed Mental Health Counselor and Master's Certified Addiction Professional with over seven years experience working with clients struggling with mental health issues as well as substance abuse. The types of clients I have worked with vary greatly and include schizophrenia, bipolar disorders, depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, chronic addiction, and recovery support.
My session style is interactive, free-flowing, and collaborative. I believe that people of all backgrounds and cultures deserve respect and dignity and are not defined by their diagnosis. However, each person is different and I like to tailor my approach depending on their individual needs and goals so that we can collaborate as a team. I also take into consideration the culture and background influences and believe that people of all cultures, beliefs, and backgrounds deserve respect and dignity.
My counseling style combines cognitive-behavioral, existential, solution-focused, and motivational interviewing.
You have already taken the biggest and sometimes most difficult step: reaching out for help. Let's continue the journey together to get you where you want to be.
I'm grateful that you've made it this far and I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Imagine what the greatest therapist would be like and multiply it x10: That is Andrea to me .
Andrea has been beyond amazing! I started in April with terrible anxiety of every little symptom, even with the vaccine, because of a full year of COVID. It ruined a lot of my every day. Over these last couple months, I've been able to improve on that anxiety, finding the strive to work on my hobbies, and being able to be myself again. I can't appreciate her enough for helping me figure it out.
Andrea is a wonderful counselor. She provides so many tools and resources to help you process and understand. She is genuine and caring while also pushing you to work towards your goals. I would not be where I am without her guidance.
She has been amazing to work with, and truly shows me what a good and caring therapist should be. Just with a couple sessions, I really feel like she's helped me a lot with my anxiety and other medical issues. Can't recommend her enough.
Andrea has been so helpful with guiding me on how to make changes in my life to improve my feelings of self worth, ability to communicate and just be a little less anxious. She's helped me identify some patterns so I can pay close attention to where my struggles in relationships and with myself are. I feel thankful to have spent this time speaking with her.
Andrea has been so amazing. I trust her and respect her expertise. She keeps me accountable, but she also also gives me the tools and knowledge to make me feel like I can actually make the changes I want to see. I’m so grateful to have such a wonderful therapist.
Andrea has been extremely supportive and understanding. She listens and gives advice without any judgment whatsoever. Best of all, she is easy to get along with and has such a kind spirit.
Andrea has helped me through situational depression related to the death of the family member and working as a healthcare professional during a pandemic. She's provided techniques I have implemented to deal with anxiety in real-time, not only while talking with her. She has also helped ground me with more realistic expectations and view of situations I have no control over. I highly recommend Andrea and her professional counseling services.

I just want to thank you so much for listening to me I know sometimes I do ramble at times that's the best way for me to get things out and may not make sense but sometimes I just speak and things just come out whether it be on the same subject are not on the same subject I want to thank you so much you have definitely helped with my anxiety I am looking at things differently I am trying very hard turn up quickly judge a situation that triggers something that has happened to me in my past and just wait for the outcome of that
