Hi, I’m Andrea!
I’m an LCSW specializing in anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, emotional regulation, and life transitions. I also work with clients experiencing self-esteem concerns, grief and loss, chronic pain, women’s issues, behavioral challenges, and the effects of difficult or overwhelming life experiences. I support clients who may feel disconnected from themselves or others and are looking for support in moving forward.
My approach is trauma-informed and centered on the connection between the mind and body. I help clients better understand their emotions and physical responses, build healthy coping skills, and feel more grounded and confident in their everyday lives. I believe therapy should be a supportive, judgment-free space where you feel heard, understood, and comfortable being yourself.
I’m also certified in and offer animal-assisted therapy and work alongside my 3-year-old golden retriever, Gansett. His calm and gentle presence can help clients feel more comfortable, grounded, and connected during sessions.
I received my MSW from the University of Denver, where I contributed to work with the Institute for Human-Animal Connection. I have experience supporting individuals through crises, significant life changes, and other challenging experiences.
