About Andrea
Andrea focuses on common struggles such as stress, anxiety, grief, and depression. She also helps people facing relationship and intimacy-related issues, trauma and abuse, and addiction concerns. Hospice and end-of-life counseling is listed among her areas of focus when those needs arise.
Her practice includes attention to attachment and family of origin issues, blended family dynamics, and conflict that affects everyday life. She also works with concerns like caregiver stress, divorce and separation, fertility-related strain, and struggles with guilt or forgiveness. These topics often show up alongside midlife questions about purpose or feelings of emptiness.
Andrea brings 23 years of experience to sessions and adapts the conversation to what each person wants to address. She listens, helps people sort through feelings, and collaborates on practical next steps. The goal is to make the process manageable and useful rather than overwhelming.
People who choose her can expect straightforward conversations and a plan shaped by their goals. If you want to begin, the profile explains how to start and what to expect next.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Andrea uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to structure work with common problems. For example, approaches that focus on symptoms and coping skills teach clear ways to manage anxiety and stress, such as breathing, grounding, and simple behavior changes. She also draws on methods that look at relationship patterns and attachment to help people understand repeated conflicts and rebuild trust in close connections.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. Together they decide which techniques to try and check in over time to adjust the plan as needed.
Confirm the exact session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life by removing travel time and offering more flexible scheduling. It also lets people choose sessions that suit the moment - for instance, a shorter check-in when time is tight or a longer session when deeper work is needed. Licensed professionals can guide which rhythm and style of sessions will best support each person's goals.
