She has 19 years of experience working in behavioral health and social services.

Background and approach
Much of her career has been spent in the child welfare system where she supported children and parents through difficult transitions. That background informs how she looks at family and parenting issues today. Andrea has also worked with people affected by substance abuse, survivors of sexual assault, and individuals in the prison system across Dade and Broward Counties.
She helped open a female therapeutic group home in Broward County and a co-ed shelter in Dade County, gaining hands-on experience with program development and residential care. In sessions she focuses on clear goals and usable skills. She helps people talk through relationship strain, grief, depression, anger, and intimacy-related concerns.
Andrea also supports those coping with ADHD, bipolar disorder, eating issues, and identity concerns within the LGBT community. Her approach is straightforward and goal-oriented. She works with each person to find coping strategies that fit their daily life and responsibilities.
The aim is steady progress through manageable steps rather than quick fixes.
Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care
Andrea uses practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and build coping skills. One common approach focuses on teaching specific skills for managing anxiety and stress, such as breathing exercises, activity planning, and problem-solving steps that can be practiced between sessions. Another approach emphasizes building healthier relationship habits and communication skills to address conflict, intimacy-related issues, and family stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea collaborates with each person to identify goals and preferences, then tailors techniques that fit daily life and responsibilities. She checks in regularly and adjusts methods based on what is working and what needs to change.
Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care easier to fit into a busy week. Video sessions allow more direct interaction and visual cues, phone sessions can be a good low-bandwidth option, and messaging or live chat work well for brief check-ins or when someone needs flexible timing during the day. These formats help people access consistent support while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
