Meet Andrea
I consider myself a βcat lady,β currently caring for five cats with special needs and one dog. I currently reside in rural Eastern Oregon, where I appreciate the woodland environment. In my downtime, I spend time reading novels, both on my own and in the company of friends during our book club get-togethers. Additionally, I enjoy traveling to nearby destinations to experience the region's diverse natural beauty.
I practice an integrative therapeutic approach that emphasizes empathetic listening and genuine care throughout all stages of life. My orientation is rooted in the belief that every individual possesses unique strengths and experiences that shape their mental health journey. I provide a safe, non-judgmental environment where clients can openly express their thoughts and feelings.
Empathetic listening is at the core of my practice; it enables me to fully understand and validate the emotions of my clients. By fostering a strong therapeutic alliance, I help individuals navigate through their challenges with compassion and support. I am dedicated to being fully present during each session, ensuring that my clients feel heard and respected.
I recognize that life is a continuum, and the challenges faced at various stages can be diverse and complex. Whether addressing the pressures of adolescence, the transitions of adulthood, or the unique concerns of aging, I tailor my approach to meet the specific needs of each client. My goal is to empower individuals to embrace their journey, fostering resilience and guiding them toward positive growth and healing.
