About Andrea
He brings extensive experience addressing childhood trauma and abuse, addictions, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, and a range of LGBTQIA concerns, including support during the gender transition process.

Andrea strives to maintain an open, supportive space where thoughts and feelings can be expressed without fear of judgment. Clients have described him as safe, free of judgment, empathic, affirming, empowering and warm. He recognizes that beginning therapy requires courage and approaches each person with respect for their goals and pace. Andrea looks forward to working with individuals ready to explore change and healing.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Andrea commonly integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Trauma-Focused Therapy in his work. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes collaboration and empathy, helping clients find their own solutions by focusing on their strengths and personal goals - this approach can support people facing identity questions, relationship concerns, and life changes. CBT focuses on the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, offering practical skills to address anxiety, depression, and patterns that maintain addiction or low self-esteem. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on healing from past abuse and traumatic events through strategies that reduce symptoms and improve coping, which can be especially helpful for those with childhood trauma or sexual assault histories.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Andrea works collaboratively with clients and with other licensed professionals and therapists as needed to determine which methods align with a client’s needs, goals, and preferences, and he adapts treatment as progress unfolds.
Online therapy brings practical benefits to this work. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for scheduling, easier access when life or location makes in-person visits difficult, and the ability to maintain continuity of care during transitions. These options allow Andrea to deliver consistent therapeutic support while meeting clients where they are.
