Hello! My name is Andrea and I have nearly twenty five years experience working with adults in the area of mental health. I live and work in the St. Louis, MO area and offer both in person and virtual sessions. I am passionate about being there for others in their time of need and want people to know there IS HOPE for whatever they are going through. I come from the view that the mind, body, and spirit are inextricably connected, so I tailor my therapeutic approach to the needs and comfort level of each client as a way for them to feel safe, understood, and cared for.
I describe myself as an integrative, holistic therapist and typically combine several evidence-based therapeutic approaches to address the fullness and complexity of each client including but not limited to: Mindfulness, DBT, CBT, and somatic work. Despite my eclectic style, I believe one of the most powerful and life changing therapies available today is Attachment Focused (AF-EMDR), and I encourage clients to consider this therapy for true and lasting change. I have found that AF-EMDR is especially helpful in transforming lives stuck in unhealthy patterns resulting from core negative beliefs about themselves and others, from past traumatic or overwhelming experiences, and from what they didn’t receive emotionally growing up. One of my specialty areas is supporting people during times of grief and mourning, and have found AF-EMDR to be particularly helpful in addressing the traumatic aspects of complicated grief and loss.
I have witnessed the transformative power of AF-EMDR both personally and professionally, and I am honored to be able to help people in a deeper way that brings them faster and more long lasting relief. If you are interested in learning more about how I may support you, please refer to my website that outlines more specifics of my practice and my personal story with AF-EMDR. I also offer a free 30 minute consultation call. I hope we can connect soon!
