About working together
Hello, I’m so happy you’re here. I offer attachment based, experiential therapy that supports healing, integration, & healthy relating. This embodied bottom up approach differs from cognitive, top down therapies like CBT & DBT. It goes directly to the source of the wound & helps to heal & integrate or release it.
Your phyiscal body, nervous system, energy centers & living tissues are considered in our time together - a holistic & non pathologizing stance.
Sessions are guided by what matters to you. A majority of the people who choose to work with me grew up in dysfunctional families & experienced emotional abuse or neglect.
They’re ready to address features & patterns ranging in physical/chronic pain & tension, identity issues, anxiety & depression, present day relationship conflicts & various forms of substance abuse & unhealthy coping.
My mission is to offer a deeply human approach to therapy, to maintain a safe, inclusive, nurturing, & attuned dynamic.
About me
I'm Andrea, a midlife-inspired therapist dedicated to providing a deep healing experience. I am a lover of animals & spend my time studying & learning with the natural world. Gardening & herboelogy is my main jam.
I identify as neurodivergent, highly sensitive, & speak the language of the body & energy. I bring therapeutic humor to our work as appropriate. Laughter is medicine.
Sessions can include:
Education with the neurobiology of relationships IPNB & attachment theory - understanding unconscious memory & learning.
Visualization, meditation, & active imagination: Tools to observe, explore, understand the inner world.
IFS Internal Family Systems & Shadow Integration: Explore to understand, compassionately integrate, & honor different aspects of personality.
Somatic Practices like breath work & TRE® (Trauma Releasing Exercises): Methods to release deep-seated tension & trauma from the body, nourish living tissue & support nervous system health to promote overall well-being & resilience.
JOINING together
At this time there is a collective response to initiate & embody the healer archetype within.
Book a consultation so we may say hello, see if we’re a sound therapeutic fit & talk about the opportunities in working together.
