Masters Level Intern
Andrea Says: “I am a firm believer that we grow through what we go through and that empathy is essential in truly understanding one another. Everyone carries their own stories often alone, which is why I strive to meet every person with compassion, understanding, curiosity, and respect for what they may be navigating. In my work I aim to create a supportive and accepting space where clients feel understood rather than judged. Therapy is not something that I view as a place to “fix" problems. I view it as an opportunity to better understand them and explore ways to move forward. Honoring both strengths and challenges is something I value highly. I am especially passionate about working alongside children and adolescents through all challenges they could be facing. Through utilizing DBT, CBT, Trauma-informed practices, and Solution-Focused Therapy, my goal is to challenge stigma and offer a presence where clients feel seen, supported, and safe to fully be themselves."

Angela says: "I believe healing is a journey, not a destination. I view therapy as a space to support you in making sense of your experiences, reconnecting with your strengths, and creating meaningful, sustainable change. My path into social work is shaped by both professional and lived experience, including recovery and loss, allowing me to show up with authenticity, compassion, and respect for your unique story.
I have a background in crisis intervention, substance use disorders, grief and loss as well as advocacy. My approach is trauma-informed, strengths-based, and solution-focused, drawing from ACT, CBT, and DBT to build insight and practical coping tools. I enjoy working with individuals, families, and couples across the lifespan, with additional interests in anxiety, trauma, ADHD, and life transitions. I also incorporate somatic grounding techniques to support nervous system regulation and overall stability."
