About & Approach

Andie is a trauma-trained intuitive therapist, small business enthusiast, and creator. They believe it takes an ecosystem to heal. Andie focuses on the therapeutic relationship as the change-maker and adapts style and modalities to who they are working with. Your creative expression, spirituality, and intuition are welcome.

If you want a therapist who gets it and will be with you on this healing journey, you’ve arrived at the right place!

Andie uses many different modalities, but the ones they use the most are psychodynamic (what is lurking behind the unconscious and how can we bring them to the conscious), parts work (being with the various parts of ourselves, even the ones that are hard to make room for), AEDP (a somatic trauma and relational approach), creativity (what can be uncovered when we honor different processing styles), and cultural relational therapy (focusing on the theraputic relationship to support change in your real life).

All of us carry inherent wisdom, and our bodies have a way of telling us this useful information. Using self-compassion and curiosity, this container can make room for deeper understanding so you have more choice in your life.

Meet Andie

Nature and gardening (especially flowers) are important parts of their life. They seek to cultivate a non-judgmental, compassionate space that allows for the duality of emotions like grief & humor. Andie is white, very adhd, and moves through chronic illness and pain bouts. They seek to forge resonance as a guide to doing cross-cultural work.

3500 Post-Graduation Clinical Hours

Like all other social workers, they completed 3500 post-graduation clinical hours in the supervision of a licensed social worker. They even found a way to pass the wildly irrelevant and super outdated racist test! They spent their post-graduation clinical hours learning more about trauma and weaving in creativity. They spent many hours offering non-traditional types of therapy for those of us whose brains process the wordly super badass and not like many ‘normal’ folks. They also focused their energy on AEDP training - they are level 2 certified and hope to get full certification in this lifetime! AEDP trainings are full weekends over several months. They are intensive training days with highly skilled trauma therapists.
