Meet Andrea

My goal as a therapist is to provide clients with the best opportunity to overcome challenges in their lives by giving them the tools, setting, and resources they need to create meaningful change. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I provide affirming, inclusive care and use an affirming and challenge-based approach to support clients in improving daily functioning and addressing mental health concerns. I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), strengths-based, and psychodynamic modalities into my clinical practice.
