​Specializing in Attachment, Attachment Trauma, and Couples and Sex Therapy

​

You matter, your relationships matter, and your story and experiences within that matters. It is worth making meaning of "why you do the things you do". When working with Andrea, you can expect therapy to be thoughtful and structured in a way that helps you understand relationships, personal experiences, attachment style and how each of those concepts impact and intersect with your unique sense of self. In therapy you will work to identify these elements and gain resources to help identify problematic patterns or symptoms (anxiety, depression, traumatic triggers, problematic relationship patterns) when they show up. In therapy, you will grow personal awareness and build new resources to better navigate situations while developing healthier coping mechanisms and lifestyle habits. This can help in intimate partnerships, parent-child relationships, friendships, community relationships and more as well as helping YOU the individual feel more grounded and present in your life.

 

​In this space, you will be met exactly where you are while simultaneously empowered with tools and resources to grow. Andrea is committed to listening intentionally, skillfully, empathically, and intuitively while thoughtfully incorporating therapeutic techniques that are grounded in research and proven helpful.

​

One particular clientele Andrea has worked with over the years are those individuals trying to find a healing balance between religious belief sets and a healthy sexuality. Many individuals often struggle to know how to navigate the complicated coexistence of religious belief sets and the sexual self. Many simply don't know how to unpack this complicated dynamic. Both individuals and couples alike seek Andrea's help in reframing the dual relationship between those two aspects of self. Clients will work to unpack the what, the why, and the how that exists between these two complex parts.
