I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Indiana with seven years of experience across hospital, school, and private practice settings, as well as macro-level program and systems work. These experiences have shaped my understanding of how deeply environment, stress, and relationships impact our mental health.
I have a strong background in supporting blended families and foster and adoptive families, helping them navigate the unique challenges of transitions, identity, connection, and communication. Creating stability, trust, and understanding within families is a key part of my work and something I’m deeply passionate about.
I also work with individuals experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, low motivation, self-esteem concerns, and career-related challenges. My goal is always to create a warm, open, and non-judgmental space where you feel heard and supported.
Reaching out for help is an act of bravery. I’m here to meet you where you are and walk with you toward the change you’re seeking.

Andrea has been phenomenal to work with. She listens which was the number one reason that I wanted to start this. She is an unbias person in my life that I can just talk to with no fear of my conversation negatively impacting something else in my life. I am busy with an executive position, a family, and pursuing a Doctorate which sometimes makes me feel like my life is wake up, go go go, and crash but taking time to meet with Andrea is me time that she really just helps me destress and focus. It's been amazing help!
