About Andrea

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 8 years of experience helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with compassion and authenticity. I’ve supported teens, college students, and adults through stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and major life transitions. I believe therapy doesn’t have to feel formal or intimidating, and sometimes humor and real conversation can make the healing process feel more human and relatable.

I earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of North Carolina. My approach is collaborative and practical, integrating evidence-based practices like cognitive behavioral therapy to fit each client’s unique needs and personality.

I view therapy as a partnership where we work together to create meaningful change at your pace and in your style. Taking the first step can feel nerve-wracking, but I aim to create a comfortable, judgment-free space where growth and progress naturally unfold.

"As a clinical social worker, it's important to me to meet my clients where they're at and offer a warm, empathetic approach to therapy."

Get to know Andrea

Why did you decide to become a counselor or psychiatric provider?

I enjoy learning others stories and helping them better their lives.

What types of clients do you work best with?

I work best with older adolescents, college age students, and adults.

What's one thing you wish all clients knew about therapy, mental health, or the healing process?

Mental health is just as important as physical health.

What can clients expect in their first session with you and in the early stages of therapy?

My goal in the first session is to create a comfortable, judgment-free space where you feel safe to share at your own pace. We’ll talk about your goals, background, what’s working (and not working) in your life, and start shaping a plan that feels realistic and helpful. Think of it as a relaxed conversation to map out a game plan.

How do you tailor therapy to meet each client’s unique needs?

As a social worker I am trained to meet my clients where they're at and strive to include them in all treatment goals.
