Hi, my name is Andina and I congratulate you on seeking therapy! I am passionate about supporting clients that are feeling isolated, depressed, anxious, lost, confused, rudderless, numb and/or hopeless. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, Complex PTSD, panic attacks, substance use, Bipolar Disorder, and "Personality Disorders" (although I don't use the term "disorder"). I have extensive experience working with clients that are indigenous and/or are struggling with stress due to living in oppressive social systems. I support clients in cultivating agency, empowerment, creativity, connection, and love!

This can help individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress because it provides tools to regulate the nervous system, process difficult emotions, and cultivate a sense of safety, presence, and connection.
I work one-on-one with adults who are seeking to heal from trauma and loss, to understand and accept themselves more fully, to feel more present and connected, and to pursue new directions of personal growth. Most of my clients have been in therapy before—some for many years, but with limited results. They often arrive at my practice seeking an alternative to traditional “talk therapy” and the medical model of mental health. I offer a holistic approach that honors the body, mind, spirit, and natural world.

Do you yearn for a better, happier life, but feel weighed down by stress, anxiety, or sadness? Do difficult thoughts and feelings prevent you from doing the things you need to do? You aren’t alone - it is so easy to become caught in a cycle of worry, depression, and negative self-talk, especially in these uncertain times. Along with the stressors that come up in our daily lives, other things can affect how we feel and function, including our upbringing, a relentless inner critic, feelings of disconnect, inherited wounds, and painful past experiences.

My passion is working with BIPOC, who are dealing with trauma, anxiety, sexual concerns, and overall stress.
We’re taught that mental health is about decreasing negative symptoms. We’re “supposed” to be less anxious, less depressed, and less overwhelmed. While that is one part of healing, what’s more important is how you want to feel and what you want to achieve. What would life be like if you could live each day without being held back? What’s the real purpose that you have yet to discover or embrace? I’m here not just to help you heal but to guide you on a journey of self-actualization. Together, we’ll explore the past, heal in the present, and create a plan for the future.

I am passionate about helping clients understand and rise above that unwanted presence that has likely been a steady companion for some time — anxiety. This anxious part of the brain can have quite a loud voice, triggering uncomfortable symptoms that lead you to avoid what you fear. You can then become stuck in a smaller, less vibrant life, one where you stop pursuing what matters most. Anxiety can show up in the form of worry that is difficult to control, public speaking anxiety, social anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, OCD, health anxiety, and work stress/burnout. I also treat insomnia, which can be a related problem.

Different seasons of life reveal different needs, hopes, and concerns in each of us. What worked for us as children or young adults may not fit as well in a different season, yet many of us find it hard to make the internal shifts to find something that fits better. We can get stuck, internally or externally, and experience stress and discontent as a result. I love working with clients to help them "unstick" and move into their present and future with tools that are a better fit for who they are and want to be. You DO have what you need to move forward into a more joyous, contented life - with just a little support and guidance.
