Professional statement

Hi, I'm Andrea! We all know what it's like to need a shoulder during tough times. I have spent the last twelve years in the deeply meaningful work of mental health, and before that I worked in the field of biology. To me, therapy is a wonderful combination of putting the pieces together and building human connection. Together, we will explore all the big and small questions that make up a life of mental and emotional wellness. Whether you need a plan of action on specific issues, or general support as you face up to life's many challenges, I am excited to be your reliable partner on the journey!


Message to clients

There’s often a moment, sometimes quiet, sometimes very clear, where you realize you might need more support than you’ve been giving yourself. If you’re here, that moment matters.
You don’t have to come into therapy with a clear story or a set of goals. You might just have a feeling that something isn’t sitting right, or that you want things to feel easier, lighter, or more like you. That’s more than enough to begin.
In our work together, we’ll take the time to notice what’s been weighing on you and what’s been keeping you going. Both are important. We’ll move at a pace that feels natural, allowing space for insight, honesty, and small shifts that start to add up over time.
This is a place where you can take a breath, be real, and begin to move forward in a way that feels grounded and true to you. If that sounds like something you’ve been needing, I’d be glad to connect.
