Hello and welcome to my profile! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Missouri and have been helping individuals seek life solutions for over 10 years. I enjoy helping clients work on a variety of issues but am especially passionate about helping women overcome issues related to anxiety and life changes (relationship, motherhood, menopause, etc).
Methods that I have found particularly effective for clients in therapy include but are not limited to Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Exposure and Response Prevention. For couples and relationship therapy I draw from the Gottman Method to guide the progression.
Each client is unique and therapy is planned around the client’s needs and goals. I feel that trust in the therapeutic relationship is the basis for our work together and we will start out investing time to build that relationship.
I am hopeful that through a strong therapeutic alliance and evidence-based methods we can make excellent progress toward your goals. Let’s work together to find joy and value in your life that you never thought possible!

Andrea is the most caring and wonderful therapist I have ever worked with. No matter how I was struggling she always validated that my feelings were okay and we talked through ways to view things differently or ways to work through them. She helped me through 6 months of a very hard time in my life and I will miss talking with her on a regular basis.

Andrea is very good about listening to my concerns as it relates to my particular situation. There are probably many ways she can offer her expertise, but she respects my personal interest in knowing how humans behave as well as my emotional struggle, as annoying as it probably is for her! Haha

I’m truly amazed at just how comfortable my counselor makes me feel. She makes it feel like we’re just two friends chatting over coffee but one of us walks away with knowledge and a better understanding of how we are able to make our lives as happy and healthy as we truly want them to be. The other hopefully walks away with knowing she has planted seeds of hope and inspired us to be the person we want to be and have the life we truly want. Hands down best counselor.
