About me

Welcome to Better Help! You've taken a big step, and I'm sure you're questioning how this works and if it’s right for you. I know I felt the same way.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in the Tampa, Florida area. I earned my Master of Social Work degree from Florida State University in 2006. Over the past 15 years as a clinician, my experience has taught me that the most important aspect of counseling by far is the connection and comfort you feel with the person you choose to share your personal struggles. I believe we can all grow through challenging experiences by self-awareness. We all want to be able to share our personal truths and be accepted and understood. I believe it's very important to be open-minded and non-judgmental when someone shares their personal story or experiences.

I've worked in many different settings with individuals and families who have a variety of personal issues such as depression/anxiety, stress, family problems, trauma/abuse, relationships/parenting, grief/bereavement, infertility, life-threatening illnesses and more.

Depending on a client’s needs, I pull form several therapeutic modalities including Solution-Focused therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Therapy, Problem-Solving Models, Task-Centered Practice and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. An integrated approach can be utilized as well.

You are welcome to message me anytime through Better Help. The ease with which you can have access to a counselor to work through day-to-day emotions and problem solving is extremely beneficial for most and a nice change from traditional outpatient counseling. I usually check messages twice a day, on weekdays. I offer live chat, phone sessions and occasional video sessions. Please note that what you see on my calendar may not reflect my complete availability, so you always want to confirm that with me through messaging.

I look forward to working with you!

Andrea is amazing. She was able to get us on the same page within the first session. Every session is handhelds with care but she gives it to you straight (very much appreciated!) I wish we had contacted her earlier!
