Andrea is wonderful. Most of the time I just need to get it out of my system so she just lets me go but interjects to keep me on track or steer me into learning something more about myself. I really cannot say enough good things about her. I feel lighter after talking to her and can feel myself let my guard down and be honest with her without judgement.

- LISW
I am a licensed independent social worker in Ohio with 17 years of professional work experience. My areas of of interest and experience include maternal mental health and wellness, support during the postpartum and "new parent" period, and foster care and adoption issues. Additionally, I have experience in helping clients with trauma and abuse, coping with grief and loss, coping with stress and anxiety, coping with life changes, and many other areas. I work collaboratively with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment, and to create client-centered goals. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process, and I look forward to meeting with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
