Background and approach
She approaches therapy with warmth and compassion while also offering gentle challenge to encourage growth, helping clients build practical skills and insights to move toward the life they want. Andrea emphasizes a collaborative process, meeting people where they are and co-creating a plan that fits each individual's goals and circumstances.
Her work addresses a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and LGBT-related matters. Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, caregiver stress, addiction, dissociation, family-of-origin and family problems, domestic violence, and coping with life changes such as separation or disaster.
Andrea draws from multiple evidence-informed methods to tailor care to each person’s needs, placing particular value on the therapeutic alliance as a foundation for change. Based in Vermont, she accepts international clients and offers flexible session formats to fit varied schedules.
Prospective clients are invited to begin by completing a short matching questionnaire to find a good fit and then schedule according to her availability.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Andrea integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. ACT is useful for stress, anxiety, and adjusting to life changes by focusing on meaningful direction rather than symptom elimination alone. She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns, which can help when working with abandonment, attachment issues, or relationship struggles. Attachment work often focuses on improving emotional connection and understanding relational responses.Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process; Andrea works with each person to identify which methods feel most helpful based on their goals, history, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so the work remains relevant and responsive to progress and changing needs.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing for flexibility around work, caregiving, or geography. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and integrate therapeutic work into daily life, while permitting licensed professionals to deliver evidence-informed methods in ways that suit each client's routine.
