Andrea aims to help clients build practical coping skills and greater resilience while honoring each person’s unique experience.

With a calm and steady approach, Andrea supports people navigating transitions and complex emotional responses, including compassion fatigue and the stresses that accompany chronic or serious health conditions.

Andrea is available to work with English-speaking clients in Michigan.

Practical Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Andrea uses evidence-based techniques that focus on skill building and practical coping. One approach emphasizes skills for managing stress and anxiety - teaching breathing and grounding strategies, pacing, and step-by-step problem solving to reduce overwhelm and increase day-to-day functioning. Another approach centers on grief-focused supportive counseling - creating space to process loss, identify meaningful ways to remember and adapt, and develop routines that aid emotional adjustment. Both approaches draw on methods shown to help people cope with life transitions and health-related challenges.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Andrea collaborates with each person to identify what fits best for their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time so the plan remains helpful and practical.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options help accommodate different schedules, mobility needs, and comfort levels, making it easier to maintain continuity of care and integrate therapeutic work into daily life while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
