About Andrea
Her approach is direct and compassionate. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental space while encouraging accountability and active steps toward change. Sessions emphasize self-care, self-love, and building habits that support lasting progress.

She draws on EMDR for trauma processing, attachment-based ideas for relationship patterns, and mindfulness practices to help people stay present. She also integrates client-centered conversations to focus on what matters most to the individual.
People who do best with her tend to want honest feedback and practical tools, not endless talking without action. She aims for meaningful breakthroughs while respecting each person’s pace. Her background blends decades of practice with personal insight into long-term healing.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online
Andrea integrates Attachment-Based Therapy in sessions to look at how early relationship patterns affect current connections. This approach helps people spot recurring interaction styles and try different ways of relating. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma work, which focuses on reducing the intensity of traumatic memories so they interfere less with daily life. Mindfulness Therapy is another common tool, teaching simple attention and breathing practices to manage anxiety and stay grounded.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Andrea will help clients choose methods that fit their goals and comfort level, and she adjusts plans as progress is made. The process is collaborative, with regular check-ins to see what is helping and what needs to change.
Confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day by removing travel time and allowing sessions during work breaks or lunchtime. It can also let people choose a quieter setting or use audio-only check-ins when video would be difficult. These practical benefits often help people stay consistent with their work and apply new skills between sessions.
