About me

People who make a deep commitment to themselves to become emotionally healthy are willing to go to the lengths to learn about their emotional selves and to do what is required to release buried emotions. This is often an uncomfortable and difficult journey when you begin, but I promise you great joy once you've gotten over the first few hurdles. Once you make this commitment your journey to identify your issues and release buried emotions will become much easier.

To think outside the box is to look further and to try not thinking of the obvious things, but to try thinking of the things beyond them. This is my greatest strength. Using my broad range of interests and experiences, I strive to have a unique perspective when approaching your issues. My goal is to offer you a dedicated, committed and passionate therapist, who formulates and employs creative coping skills to help you overcome life challenges. Being a motivating and inspirational mentor and coach, I help to instill successful performance in individuals and couples. As an instinctive and attentive listener, I will help you uncover your strengths and offer you a unique individualized plan of success.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Kansas and Missouri. I received a Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology at Avila University in Kansas City, Missouri. I added a certification as a Personal Trainer through Smart Fitness because mental health, diet and exercise go hand in hand.

Andrea has been beyond helpful in my entire life! She’s wonderful and getting you to understand and change behavior or at least begin to think about how to change your behavior. Highly recommend she’s a highlight and huge help to me during my week.

Written on Jun 10, 2021 after therapy with Andrea for 2 months on issues concerning addictions, family conflicts, eating disorders, sleeping disorders, parenting issues, self esteem, career difficulties, coping with life changes, and coaching

Andrea is amazing. Not only does she help me work my way through old traumas/experiences but she also actively works with me to create positive mindset moving forward in my life. She is very knowledgeable and takes time to share her knowledge and how she believes it applies to you. She has already helped me so much in a short time and I am excited to continue on this journey!

I felt like I hit the jackpot with Andrea. She has a wisdom that you don't get just from going to school. I love that she doesn't sugar coat things and just gets straight to the core of the issues. Thanks Andrea.

Andrea has been a tremendous help to me through life difficulties. She is extremely knowledgable and has been a great match for me as a counselor. She responds very quickly and follows up with me atleast once a week on issues we have discussed.
