Counseling for teens and adults

More than just talking
Sandtray
In sandtray, you place small figures in the sand to represent whatever you need them to. They get their meaning from you. It helps you express what you don’t have words for, and it quiets the thinking brain so the feeling brain gets a say. The result is often a new sense of clarity. It doesn’t solve all your problems, but it can make them feel surmountable.
EMDR
Painful experiences, big or small, can shape what we believe about ourselves and the world in ways that stop helping us. EMDR uses bilateral stimulation, like eye movements, gentle tapping, or handheld buzzers, to support your brain’s natural ability to process and adapt, and you don’t have to tell every detail of what happened. EMDR helps you get the driver’s seat back, so you can choose rather than be directed by your past.
talk therapy
Sometimes what you need most is to just talk, honestly and practically, and to be heard. In talk therapy, we make sense of what’s going on and what’s already working. I’ll follow your lead, and I’ll gently challenge you when it helps. You know your life best, and I’m here to walk alongside you as you find your own way.
What I help with
Anxiety & avoidance: when worry is running the show
Grief & loss: making room for what you’ve lost
Trauma & EMDR: healing what still hurts, at your pace
Relationships & boundaries: breaking old patterns and holding healthy limits
Teens & families: support for teens, and for the parents trying to help them

Hi, I’m Andrea
about me
I believe all people have the capacity to live well and create the solutions they seek. My role as a counselor is to hold the light as you find your own way.
I spent 14 years working with teens as a teacher and school counselor. Being a mother and educator gave me a down-to-earth relatability and a fervent dedication to advocating for my clients. While teens and adults are my focus, I work with clients from seven to seventy and beyond.

Getting Started
the first step is a conversation
Reaching out can be the hardest part. Start with a free 15-minute phone consult. You can tell me a little about what’s going on, ask any questions, and we’ll see whether I’m the right fit. If I’m not, I’ll help you find someone who is.
