I am a truly person-centered therapist. I try to look at things from your perspective and understand your story—what happened in your life that brought you to where you are right now? Therapy is going to be a little uncomfortable at times. But we'll move through that discomfort to a point where you can manage it much, much better. I have experience treating people in a variety of populations and settings; my other areas of focus include depression, family therapy, and crisis situations.

Get to know Andrea
My personal connection to OCD and mental health
I have PTSD. It gives me a lot of empathy. I can tell if Members are becoming overwhelmed, and pace sessions accordingly.
How I create a safe, supportive environment in therapy
When I first meet Members, I thank them for being open about their experience. It's difficult for anyone to share what they're going through. I also give space to share mishaps that you might have had with past therapists. It's common to have previously worked with therapists that weren't helpful, but that was because they weren't trained properly in treating OCD.
What I want to help you see in yourself
Your strength. It's really courageous to even consider talking to anyone about any mental health issues.
My message to you if you're struggling right now
I get it. We're asking you to be vulnerable and share your triggers. But I really do have faith that you're strong enough to handle them.

I had a really rough week and so I'm so thankful that I was able to see my therapist today. As always, she is professional, kind, And keeps me on track when I start talking about things other than OCD which is really helpful because I can tend to go on Bunny trails sometimes. We've been making headway and celebrated some wins and I'm just so thankful for this service! It's been a lifesaver.
R.A.
So awesome Andrea celebrated a big win with me! She is affirming of my faith and helps me navigate the ins and outs of my subtypes. She follows my thoughts when I feel they're all over the place and gives me such helpful insight that's relevant to my situations. She's encouraging and kind and I'm so thankful.

Andrea is the best! She's kind and understanding, has given me the best advice, and has helped me understand ocd better. She has gently walked me through the darkest and hardest time of my life.
