About My Clients

Pema Chödrön says, "the healing comes from letting there be room for all of this to happen: room for grief, for relief, for misery, for joy." My greatest passion is creating a safe space to walk alongside people lost in the overwhelm or pain of life and learning new ways of moving forward. I love supporting clients who are seeking perspective and skills to better navigate the waves of life, not necessarily believing that therapy is the place to remove the waves all together.

My Background and Approach

Andrea has a strong affinity to a systemic or holistic approach to care, believing that a wider view to what can appear to be an acute struggle is important. She also believes passionately that the priority of a therapist, above all other goals, is to cultivate a relationship and a space where a person, or persons, can feel safe to be themselves, and eventually open to new ways of being. Andrea spent over a decade in corporate consulting and holds a unique and empathetic understanding of the ways this impacts client's lives.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I am a white, CIS, heterosexual female and recognize this places me in a position of privilege. I am LGBTQ affirming, sex positive and recognize the vast racial injustices faced by people in the community I work in. I bring a warmth, calmness and curiosity to every client, believing that each of us is nuanced and worthy of a safe place for self exploration regardless of our stories and beliefs.
