About Andrea
Andrea uses a mix of methods shaped by each person's needs rather than a single formula. Sessions often draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and build realistic coping steps. She also incorporates Solution-Focused ideas to set small, achievable goals that lead to momentum.
People come with concerns like depression, low self-esteem, burnout or compassion fatigue, and issues tied to family life such as blended family conflict, divorce, or communication problems. Andrea helps clients name the most pressing problems and try straightforward strategies to reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning.
Her work includes addressing abandonment, body image struggles, commitment and control issues, infidelity and jealousy, and questions about life purpose. Sessions are conversational and action-oriented, mixing exploration with concrete tasks clients can practice between meetings.
Andrea aims to make therapy both practical and hopeful. She helps people notice small changes that add up over time. If someone wants clear steps and steady support while navigating life changes, she focuses on achievable progress rather than quick fixes.

CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and trying new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, validation, and building a respectful therapeutic relationship so clients can find their own solutions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Andrea will talk with each person about goals, needs, and preferences, then try methods that feel like a good fit. That collaborative method helps shape sessions so they match what a person wants to change or understand.
