About Andrea

I work with Clients who are navigating a variety of challenges in life. I see individuals who are experiencing feelings of depression, anxiety, boundary difficulties, spiritual issues, and grief/loss. Many of my Clients are trying to cope with the effects of trauma in their life, in addition to feelings of insecurity, perfectionism, self-hatred, or shame. I employ experiential therapeutic tools and come alongside my Clients to help them work towards change. It takes great courage to seek counseling; it’s an honor to walk with people during this part of their story. I help people develop insight into themselves, learn new tools for coping, find their voice, and seek healing from their past or present experiences. 

I strive to provide a compassionate and hope-filled experience for each of my clients. I am committed to helping individuals restore and live fully into who they are created to be; I have trained in Brainspotting Phase 1, Gender Affirmative Care, Religious and Spiritual trauma, Trauma treatment as well as intensive training in CBT for Anxiety Disorders by The Beck Institute.

I moved to Reno when I was seven years old and have lived here most of my life, except for the 6 years I lived in Portland, OR, where I earned my Master’s degree. When I am not providing therapy, you can find me enjoying anything outdoors in Northern Nevada with my family and friends. I have a small homestead and enjoy my chickens, turkeys and fresh produce from our garden. My dog Dumpy likes to join in my therapy sessions sometimes; I am in two bookclubs and I love good coffee and nerdy stuff.
