Andrea is the perfect mix of familiarity and professionalism. I feel she has a gift for making you feel heard and seen and helps me use that for self reflection. I have discovered things that I never really investigated about myself. She is good at what she does.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Great therapist, looking forward to more good sessions.
Andrea has helped me so much and I honestly don’t know what I would do without her help in such a vulnerable time in my life . She keeps me grounded and helps me figure out ways to realize things about myself in a different way .
Lucky to have her expertise and knowledge.
Andrea is fantastic! Her energy is great and she is helping me to make this an enjoyable experience that I actually think I can grow in. She's challenging me to grow partly by analyzing what is already here and also by helping me shift my view and providing me a safe space to really track things through, even when I'd rather not poke at them, and turn them into places to grow from. She really makes therapy into something I want to do because I'm learning and strengthening myself through instead of something I have to do because I'm "broken," "weak," or whatever else I grew up thinking going to therapy would prove me to be.
Andrea is a great therapist, she really digs deep into what the problems can be and helps you to see things from a different perspective. So far, she has been prompt in her responses and genuinely cares about her job.
