About working together

Hi, I’m so glad you’ve found your way here.

I offer attachment-based, experiential therapy that supports healing, integration, & deeper connection in your relationships—starting with the one you have with yourself.

This is a body-centered, holistic approach that’s different from traditional talk therapies like CBT or DBT. Instead of focusing primarily on thoughts, we work from the bottom up—through the body, emotions, & nervous system—going directly to the root of what's affecting you.

In our sessions, your physical body, nervous system, energy centers, & lived experience are all honored. You won't be pathologized here—we’ll work with compassion, presence, & curiosity.

Our work is always guided by what matters most to you. Together, we gently explore & dissolve patterns that may have helped you survive at one time but now feel limiting or painful. Many of the people I work with have experienced emotional neglect or abuse in early life, & are now ready to reclaim their power.

You might be navigating things like:

  • Chronic pain or body tension

  • Anxiety, depression, or identity confusion

  • Challenges in relationships or intimacy

  • Unhealthy coping patterns or substance use

If you're ready to meet yourself, in a safe & supportive space, I’m here to walk alongside you. My mission is to offer a deeply human approach to therapy—one rooted in warmth, inclusivity, safety, & connection.

About Me

Hi, I’m Andrea—a therapist walking the path of healing right alongside you. Inspired by the wisdom that comes with midlife, I’m dedicated to offering therapy that’s deep, meaningful, & grounded in human connection.

Outside the therapy space, I’m most at home with animals & the natural world. I spend my time learning from plants, tending to my garden, & diving into the art of herbalism—that’s my happy place.

I identify as neurodivergent & highly sensitive, & I bring that sensitivity into our work in a way that honors the language of the body, energy, & emotion. I also believe in the healing power of laughter—when the moment is right, a little therapeutic humor can go a long way. After all, joy is medicine too.

What Our Sessions Might Include

Each session is guided by your needs, your pace, & your inner wisdom. Here are some of the practices & approaches we may explore together:

  • Relational Neurobiology & Attachment Understanding
    We draw from the science of interpersonal neurobiology (IPNB) & attachment theory to help you understand specifically how early experiences shaped your nervous system & emotional patterns. This awareness can bring powerful insights into current challenges—helping you recognize & shift unconscious patterns rooted in the past.

  • Memory Reconsolidation for Lasting Change
    When a painful or limiting memory is reactivated in a safe, supportive environment & met with new, emotionally corrective experiences, the brain has the ability to rewrite the emotional impact of that memory. This process, known as memory reconsolidation, is key to deep & lasting healing—allowing old patterns to be transformed or released.

  • Visualization, Meditation & Active Imagination
    Using guided practices, we create space to connect with your inner world—gently exploring thoughts, feelings, images, & sensations to assist transformation. These tools can help provide the experiences necessary to uncover & offer meaningful changes.

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS) & Shadow Integration
    Through a compassionate dialogue with the different parts of yourself—especially the ones you've had to hide or push away—we work toward greater internal harmony. This allows you to reclaim more energy, freedom, & self-trust.

  • Somatic Practices & Body-Based Healing
    Approaches like breathwork and TRE® (Trauma Releasing Exercises) help release deeply held tension & trauma stored in the body. These practices support your nervous system, increase resilience, & reconnect you with your body as a source of wisdom, not just symptoms.
