Hi, I’m Andrea! I’m a bilingual therapist who believes therapy should be a place where you can be yourself, feel genuinely heard, and talk openly about what’s happening in your life without fear of judgment. My goal is for you to leave our sessions feeling a little lighter, more understood, and more hopeful about what comes next.
I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, life transitions, and times when you may simply feel overwhelmed or stuck. I also work with couples who want to improve communication, strengthen their connection, work through conflict, and better understand one another.
As a bilingual therapist, I value culturally responsive care and recognize that our culture, relationships, families, and life experiences can shape how we see ourselves and the challenges we face. I strive to create a welcoming space where you feel comfortable bringing your whole self into therapy.
My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and personalized to your needs. I incorporate evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), to help you better understand your thoughts and emotions, build practical coping skills, improve relationships, and feel more confident navigating life’s challenges.
You don’t have to wait until everything feels overwhelming to reach out for support. Whether you want to feel more like yourself again, strengthen your relationships, or make meaningful changes in your life, I’d be honored to work alongside you.
Outside of the therapy room, I enjoy weightlifting, traveling, trying new foods, and spending time with the people I love—and my dog, Minnie!
