I bring nearly 20 years of experience to my individual, couple, and family therapy practice. Utilizing a systemic, holistic approach, I treat a variety of life challenges: trauma/PTSD, abuse/neglect, divorce adjustment/co-parenting, depression, anxiety, health/weight management, and phase of life difficulties. I provide a safe, supportive environment, which allows clients to discover their own healing potential.

NOTE: Not currently taking clients interested in EMDR. Our minds can hold conflict within that influences conflict with how we move throughout the world. Our experiences impact how we handle conflict. Whether that be from loss, life changes, trauma, anxiety, depression, or ADHD, our responses can change. Self-awareness, self-acceptance, and showing up for ourselves can incite the growth we seek. Someone holding a private, safe space for us to unload and sift through the clutter in our minds provides a gift to ourselves of more room in our life to move away from conflicts and toward where we want to be.

As as Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I can give you tools to improve communication with your partner and ask for what you need, educate you on the type of interactions that can cause damage during times of conflict, coach you on how you can make meaningful and positive connections with your partner, and most importantly, how to become friends again! I also work to help families facilitate safe I communication so each member's needs can be expressed and heard. In addition to marriage counseling, my practice also serves individuals who are wanting to learn more effective ways to manage stress, anxiety, and depression.

Life brings stress and challenges making the journey seem hopeless at times. Anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and trauma find it's way into our lives. We want to sometimes give up, but our human nature is to reach out for a simple connection. As you seek consultation and support it can also be scary, but it can be helpful to have an ally in your journey. This is a brave step to reach out, so thank that part of yourself that is looking. I know it's challenging and difficult to find someone with whom you can trust, and I value the struggle to just be heard. My name is Andy and I want to hear your story and help anyway I can.

Do you want to be more satisfied in life? Do you feel like life keeps bringing on similar situations? Are there any unresolved situations or feelings from the past or present that are bothering you? Do you feel like you have great potential but something is holding you back? Our life is affected by our past experiences, unresolved situations, family standards, self-esteem, and more. During each counseling session I will be there for you to support and create an accepting environment to work through your past and present to achieve changes for a better life.

While the basic process of personal change is fairly simple: "Stop doing the unwanted behavior and start doing the wanted behavior", we all tend to struggle in these endeavors. Why? Because we are products of our learned behaviors, habits, and patterns. I believe that everyone has the power to change and that using therapy can be a very helpful way to make your desired change a reality! If you are considering making a change in your life, feel like you want to stop suffering, or need some help in carrying out your plans for change, I would be honored to help you.
