Hi, I’m Andrea…
(She/Her)
I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC), EMDR practitioner, and Life/Career Coach. I have a Masters in Counseling Psychology from St. Mary’s University, and specialized coaching training from the Institute for Life Coach Training, and The Mindfulness Coaching School. I have over two decades of experience supporting adults seeking greater purpose, clarity, and meaning in their lives, whether that be in their relationships, academic or career lives, or in their own relationship with Self. My work is especially suited for those navigating midlife transitions, existential questions, spiritual inquiry, or a desire to live with deeper authenticity. I also enjoy working with individuals trying to achieve deeper levels of intimacy and authenticity in their relationships.
An integrative approach to growth and healing…
I integrate psychodynamic therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), existential psychotherapy, and EMDR, offering a grounded, offering a safe and dynamic space to explore both emotional wounds and untapped potential. I practice from a framework that honors depth, creativity, and the individual's longing for authenticity, reflection, and deep connection with self and others. My approach is grounded in insight, transformation, and self-understanding. I invite you into a deep, collaborative exploration of your life’s meaning, identity, and purpose, grounded in the truest parts of yourself.
Although not a requirement of working with me, I enjoying working with clients who are exploring expanded states of consciousness,whether that be through creative expression, meditation, breath-work, plant-based medicines, or other contemplative practices. I love interweaving concepts from Buddhism, Taoism, Quantum Physics, and other philosophical and spiritual orientations into my work with clients. Whether clients are seeking to explore spiritual or psychedelic experience or are considering new ways of being in the world, I support them in weaving insight into daily life with intention and care.
In addition to psychotherapy, I offer coaching sessions that support career discovery, life transitions, and values-based decision-making. I use tools like the Meyers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), Strong Interest Inventory, and the Clifton Strengths Assessment to help clients clarify their gifts and take meaningful forward action in their lives. My style is warm, collaborative, and relational—focused on helping clients access their inner wisdom and build lives of coherence, depth, and purpose.
Who I work with:
I work best with clients who are curious, reflective, and drawn to depth. If any of the following resonate with you, you may find my approach especially meaningful:
You’re a learner at heart — someone who finds wisdom in literature, music, poetry, or non-fiction, and wants to explore how stories, ideas, and language can support healing and growth.
You’re seeking meaning, not quick fixes — you’re ready to explore life’s deeper questions and emotions, not just resolve surface-level symptoms.
You value alternative and integrative approaches — you’re drawn to perspectives outside conventional models, including Buddhist, Taoist, or other contemplative traditions.
You crave depth and complexity — you don’t shy away from nuance, paradox, or uncertainty. You want therapy to be a place of insight, not just advice.
You’re a thoughtful professional — navigating questions of purpose, fulfillment, and authenticity in your career or relationships, and seeking clarity on how to align your outer life with your inner truth.
You’re open to altered states of consciousness — whether through plant-based medicine, meditation, or other non-ordinary experiences, you’re interested in expanded ways of knowing and healing.
My clients are welcome to work with me on a weekly, bi-weekly or on an “as needed” basis. I provide a flexible format based on a collaborative relationship of trust and communication about what works best for your growth.
