Hello! I’m Andrea, a bilingual therapist passionate about supporting diverse communities. My goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where clients feel truly heard and understood. One of the most rewarding parts of my work is seeing people leave sessions feeling lighter and more hopeful than when they came in.
I work with adults as a licensed social worker with a master’s degree from Aurora University, and I also have experience supporting children, adolescents, and young adults. My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, self-esteem, couples therapy, and relationship challenges. During my internship at a behavioral health clinic, I facilitated CBT and DBT groups, which strengthened my skills in evidence-based approaches.
Outside of my work, I enjoy weightlifting, traveling, trying new foods, and spending time with loved ones. A favorite travel memory of mine is exploring Costa Rica, where I hiked to breathtaking waterfalls and even fed monkeys on the beach. At home, I love relaxing with my dog, Minnie.
