A Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, Andrea has distinguished her career in mental health by supporting individuals in trauma, career transition, and burnout with her unique blend of compassionate care and clinical expertise.
Her counseling journey began after a tenure at Rice University, where her work with counseling staff supporting students in crisis sparked an interest in mental health. That led to pursuing a master’s degree in counseling from the University of Houston. Her clinical training at The Women’s Home, a residential program for homeless women, was marked by her commitment to community outreach and empowering those facing significant life challenges.
She continued her mental health career at The Harris Center for Mental Health and IDD as a clinical team leader, followed by a position as an interventionist for the Crisis Intervention Response Team, a partnership between Harris County deputies and the Houston Police Department in emergency mental health assessment.
Today, in her private practice, Andrea specializes in clients struggling with depression, anxiety, and trauma. Her therapeutic philosophy is grounded in a commitment to a healing process based on the transformative power of therapy. She is committed to inspiring and uplifting those she serves while guiding them to a more balanced, meaningful life.
