I am licensed in California with 13 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, coping with addictions, relationship issues, & family conflicts. I also have experience working with anger management. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.
I am a very, open, honest, straightforward communicator and use the same style in therapy. I take a very direct approach. I am also an African-American, Christian woman (non-denom) and i am NOT a part of the LGBTQ+ community. If any of those things are important to you to assist with determining whom to connect with for therapy, please keep them in mind.
It is EXTREMELY important that you have a good, close, honest relationship with your therapist. It is on that relationship that rapport is built and how progress is made. Authentic connection is everything.

Tandrea is an excellent therapist, she’s empathetic but holds me accountable. This has been important for my progress as I accomplish my healing goals. For me personally it’s non negotiable to have a therapist that meets me where I am then assists with getting to move beyond my present blockages. I’m feeling much better after each of our sessions.
