a space for you ✳︎ ✳︎
A container for you. The days are busy, this world is busy, tuning into our emotional health with a trusted therapist can be so relieving. This dedicated time is yours to move at your own space. You and Andie will work together to understand what you need, make sense of complex emotional experiences, and honor the badass work you are doing! Therapy is hard, let’s be sure to acknowledge how far you’ve come, and will keep going!
A space for you and your partners to deep dive, and be held in the wild emotions relationships bring out in us. A non-judgemental, present, and playful space to learn how to lean into each other. Andie utilizes AEDP, EFT, somatic work, and parts work to support your relationship. There is nothing more magical than love, and as we know, love tugs are on parts. Sometimes, on our deepest wounding. But our wounds can find healing together <3.
Being in business with others is both incredible and relationally charged. Your livelyhoods rely on each others. You make massive decisions together, holding excitement & fear. Your business expands because of each other. And wow, what pressure for these business partnerships! In your work with Andie they will hold the varying parts that unfold from being in business with others. The courage, pain, gratitude, hurt, and fear.
What does an individual session look like?-
This is so cliché, but it depends. Andie works with where people are at and what supports them to feel safer. Before any deeper therapeutic work begins, they focus on the therapeutic relationship. Why? Because when people don’t feel relationally safe, they likely won’t be able to do deeper work. Your attachment system is an intelligent system, wired to keep you safe.
But again, this looks different for each person, because every single person has had different experiences.
You are welcome to stretch, walk, paint, doodle, fidget, etc. Andie is happy to do in-person, phone, virtual, or even take a walk in the woods.
Andie wants folks to take care of themselves, so please feel free to eat. And do other things that humans need to do, because humans aren’t robots :)!

The largest approach Andie takes is, taking care of yourself. In a world that is moving so quickly, taking the time you need to do basic human tasks can suddenly feel radical.
Andie relies heavily on a relational approach, which essentially means the work can translate to other relationships and areas of your life.
Andie weaves in somatic tools, creative practices, tarot (if that’s your thing), and other ways of accessing our emotions. Andie also brings in humor, because ohmygosh this time in humanity is a shitshow.
Andie’s foundational lens stems from a trauma framework, which means they focus on stabilizing before any deeper work occurs. Overriding protective parts can lead to re-traumatization and confusion. And while some trauma work requires us to revisit old moments, and can feel a bit brain scrambly Andie’s hope is that you leave feeling more relief and grief than spiraled out and unraveled.
They focus on witnessing the memories and experiences you’ve had with compassion + understanding. Most trauma gets stuck because someone didn’t have anyone to hold it with them. Part of Andie’s role is being a witness and finding ways to integrate past experiences so people feel less alone.
What's a relationship therapy session like?-
Andie meets partnership work with depth and curiosity. Most relationships tug on vulnerable wounds. It makes sense that sometimes in relationships we need some support, especially in a culture that is learning how to be in relationships, often from Instagram infographics, especially for queer folk who have very few examples due to systemic oppression.
They focus on identifying stuck points and finding ways to move beyond old patterns.
If you are seeking depth work, Andie is likely a great fit. If you are seeking to work on one challenge and are desiring a more structured worksheet/homework approach, Andie would not be a great fit!

Bodies are wired to protect us. So working with the body (somatics), and the parts of that are being poked can be useful in understanding why you’re having these feels and offers individual and partnership tools.
If you aren’t understanding what parts of u talking, how can you know how to tend to them and your relationship?
Parts work can help identify the protective parts, while somatics can be a salve for integration.

When it’s hard in a partnership(s), it can be super easy to go to the worst place. It can be even easier to get stuck in a mindset and not be able to see out of that place.
Through humor, creative practices, and somatic tools, as a guide to bring you back into yourself and each other.
What does a business partnership session look like?-
Again, it might be a bit cliché, but it depends. Every business model, relationship, and way of relating to money and survival is different. Running a business tugs on wounds. Andie works with the business partnership and goals. Is it communication? Is your business business is growing, and you want to be on the same page? Are you going through a hard business time? Or perhaps there is hurt and mistrust.
Using several modalities, Andie strives to focus on your goals.

Well in many ways, it isn’t.
But in other ways, it is! Running a business is different than building a life romantically with someone(s)
And yet, these things do overlap. So, the work is to understand boundaries, needs, and requests so that the business can function well.
-
The first session will be gathering information. Expect an hour of a lot of answering questions so Andie can gain a deeper understanding of what’s happening.
You can expect 55 minutes of undivided attention, focusing on your business and relationship goals.
After the first session, Andie will ask if there is a structure that is useful. Do you want to start with a creative practice, a breathing activity, or just dive right in?
