She began her career supporting children in therapeutic foster care and teaching parenting and life skills. For the past two decades she has worked in hospital settings helping people navigate acute medical crises and the emotional fallout of health issues.

In sessions Andrea focuses on practical skills people can use right away. She teaches coping strategies for anxiety and low mood, helps people strengthen communication, and supports building confidence. She also helps clients process loss and make actionable plans toward career or life changes.

Andrea has a history of working with new mothers during the perinatal period. She offers focused support for people feeling overwhelmed or experiencing postpartum depression, and she provides counseling for those adjusting to major health-related changes.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She treats clients as the experts on their own lives and helps them apply evidence-informed techniques to daily situations. Small, concrete steps are a frequent part of her approach.

Clients can expect sessions that blend reflective listening with tools from cognitive and solution-focused approaches. Andrea draws on trauma-focused methods when past events continue to affect current functioning, always aiming to build practical coping and clearer next steps.
