My approach involves empathically engaging with your past, present, and future to increase self-empowerment and identify new paths toward thriving. The process of therapy is a collaboration between the client and clinician, but you will be the ultimate agent of change in your life. At the heart of my process, I use sensitive-inquiry and mindfulness-based practices to nudge you toward an integrated relationship with yourself. I will encourage you to feel deeply, tune into the physical sensations of your emotions, and find meaning-making systems. Self-compassion is a primary emphasis in my work.

As a client, you can expect authenticity and curiosity from the beginning. I believe you are the expert in your life, and it is our job together to work towards your goals while building a happier, healthier life. We all face overwhelming challenges, but a supportive and trusting therapeutic relationship can foster change and healing.

Wow…being in your head feels like a sh!t show some days, right? The constant thoughts that are letting you know every “what if” that could happen, all the reasons why something isn’t going to work out, and all those beliefs about yourself that deep down (deep deep down) you know aren’t true! They just aren’t. But all these pesky thoughts are holding you back and weighing you down. And all you want to do is float around, be carefree, do all the things you KNOW you can do, and live your best life right? You can change your thoughts, which means you can change your life. So let’s do this!

Raising healthy and happy children with ADHD can be a big job, but the good news is that you do not have to do it alone. There is a lot that can be done to help! ADHD is a complex neurodevelopmental condition that impacts each child differently. ADHD has little to do with how "smart" your child might be, but it has a lot to do with your child's ability to regulate their attention, mood, and behaviors. When symptoms of ADHD lead to lower self-esteem, mental health concerns, behavioral challenges, or academic struggles, it is a good time to seek professional help.

As a clinician who is part of the Kelle DeBruin Counseling team, I have a passion for working with people who think complexly about the world around them and want to "dive deeper" on their journey. Those who contemplate life’s big questions: who am I? What do I want? What is my purpose here? Why did I have to go through that and what does it mean? Together we will explore yourself and your values, and any barriers that prevent you from creating the life you want to live, either yourself or in your relationships.

I'm open to helping all clients of all problems, issues, and temperaments. I tend to prioritize by engaging and building rapport. I utilized a great deal of listening, reflecting and understanding a person's issues and problems. From there we collaborate in exploring and identifying the problem(s) that are creating the stress, anxiety, sadness depression and other emotions. An ideal client is anyone that seeks help; someone who is open to seeking positive change or at least contemplating needing to change

I am passionate about eating disorder recovery. I came into this work after recovering from my own eating disorder almost 20 years ago. Once I found myself on the other side I realized I wanted to help others find their own path to freedom. I know first hand how difficult this process can be.

You deserve to be having the best days! You know that something has to shift, but not exactly sure what that is or how things will change. Your emotions might be inhibiting you from feeling empowered, confident and clear in your decision making. I would be honored to support you in gaining perspective through a style that is direct, down to earth and focuses on a collaborative approach. ​I believe that life is a series of transitions, some more challenging than others, and that there is no reason to proceed solo.

Are you struggling with anxiety and depression that just doesn't seem to go away? Is a previous or current experience of substance abuse negatively impacting your life? Are there big lifestyle changes you are currently adjusting to, such as parenting stress or relationship issues? Is there a traumatic experience you've gone through that makes it hard to get up in the morning? If you resonate with these concerns or issues, Andrea will be a good fit for you. Her experience in these concerns, matched with her qualifications and empathic nature, can be a great fit for any client who is feeling stuck, struggling, and needing support.

I believe that we are already whole, and our innate wisdom is best accessed when we feel safe to be seen, share and reflect.

Accepting New Clients: Finding the right provider when you're struggling with substance abuse or a co-occurring disorder can be a daunting task, but I would like to take the fear and shame out of the process and let you know that change is possible if you're willing to take the first step. You may be someone seeking help for the first time or someone who has struggled with issues in the past, but no matter what brought you to this place, I would like to be an ally in your journey toward wellness. Client-centered therapy means that you get to be in control of the process, and I respect an individual's right to maintain autonomy.

Something hasn’t been working in your life lately... you haven’t been feeling quite right... and you made the courageous decision to seek some answers and professional support... Have you wondering why you are not as happy as you used to be? Do you find yourself more anxious than you used to be? Are your loved ones worried about unhealthy behaviors that might be getting out of control? Are important relationships starting to suffer because of these feelings or behaviors? Do you want to know the reasons? Do you want to make healthy, positive changes? Do you want to take your life back and feel better again? Change is possible!

My focus includes gender and gender transition, sexuality, racial identity, trauma, and personal growth. I welcome people of all identities. I have trained in supporting people through gender affirming surgeries including letter of support. We will create a safer container for you to explore what hurts and what helps.

I incorporate mindfulness and grounding work to promote a safer experience.

Depression, anxiety, and relationship issues can profoundly impact your life, creating feelings of isolation and confusion. My practice is devoted to individuals seeking to understand and navigate these challenges. By exploring the intricacies of your experiences, we'll uncover the underlying causes of your feelings. Recognizing that understanding the 'why' behind your emotions is crucial, we delve into your past, particularly your family of origin, to identify patterns and sources of trauma, aiming to foster healing and growth.

You're deeply caring, creative, and curious. And you feel stuck, not good enough, overwhelmed. Disconnected from the life you want. You might be numb and slowly suffocating, feeling like you're in a deep hole. You may find yourself shutting down and avoiding things that are usually important to you. You could be struggling to start a family, or dealing with scary thoughts and emotional pain in pregnancy, postpartum, or beyond. Even though you're not sure how, you are ready to make a change to live meaningfully, and are open to trying something new.
