About Me

Welcome!

​

I tailor my therapeutic work to meet each client's unique needs, using a variety of evidence-based approaches. With a Master's in Social Work from Columbia University, I have extensive experience supporting individuals of all ages with diverse mental health challenges.

​

My focus is on guiding clients through stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges, all while fostering personal growth along the way.  I have experience working with both teens and adults, providing counseling and leading groups, as well as collaborations as a Family Therapist with the Krasner Adolescent Institute. 

​

As a parent of three, I understand the complexities of parenthood. As a certified provider, I offer the SPACE (Supportive Parenting of Anxious Childhood Emotions) program from Yale University, designed to help parents support their children through anxiety and related issues.

 

I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a powerful therapeutic technique that helps individuals process and heal from traumatic experiences. EMDR can promote quick emotional healing for specific events and is effective for a range of issues, including anxiety, depression, OCD, chronic pain, addictions, and other distressing life experiences.

 

I’m genuinely passionate about being with you on your journey. My approach is rooted in empathy and collaboration, creating a safe space for exploration and growth. Together, we can navigate challenges, build resilience, and equip you with tools to boost your confidence and well-being.

Mary (parent)

"Andrea helped our family so much using the SPACE approach. Our daughter suffers from anxiety, and SPACE opened our family to techniques to better understand her needs, and how to approach barriers. We have entered a new chapter of understanding and daily life, all thanks to Andrea and SPACE."
