Hi! I'm Andrea.
Therapist, First Responder, Wife, Wrangler of Tiny Humans
Mom to three young children, my current pastimes are centered around never-ending games of hide-and-seek, superheroes, board games (Hungry Hippos anyone?), swimming, and of course, all things Disney. I not only wear a uniform, but am also a proud police wife, lucky enough to be married to my best friend.
Originally from New England, my happy place is the beach. I moved to Texas nearly two decades ago to embark on a career in law enforcement. On day one, we were told we would have a front row seat to the greatest show on earth, and they weren’t kidding. It has been an incredible, exciting, fulfilling, and humbling experience. What they didn’t tell us was the toll it would take on our minds, bodies, and spirits – or on our families.
​
Professionally, I hold a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling and am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate in the State of Texas, under the supervision of Kelley Akins, LPC-S. I combine my experience as a therapist, certified mediator, and current first responder to partner with clients in re-building hope, trust, security, and above all else, resiliency. I am dedicated to helping people heal from their past and take control of their future.
​
My approach to therapy focuses on building resiliency with intentional focus on changing the behaviors that are not leading to the life you want. If you aren’t where you want to be, then something has to give. Change, by human nature, is difficult and will create anxiety. Having a place to talk and stay accountable will keep you on track.
