Andrea is hands down the best counselor I have worked with in 15 years! I am so impressed with Andrea's methods and approach. I have made more progress in 3 months than I did in years! I cannot say enough about her.

I've only been with Andrea for a few weeks, but she has already given me incredibly helpful tools to use in my life that greatly reduce my anxiety! She has a wide knowledge base which is extremely helpful. She is thoughtful and kind and elicits emotion and openness from me in an incredibly genuine fashion. I feel very comfortable with her!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Marital and Family Therapist in Oklahoma. I have worked with individuals, couples and families with a variety of lifestyles including military, civilians, students, and more. My clients have given me the opportunity to work with them on issues including anxiety, chronic pain, stress, life changes, PTSD, family conflict, relationship issues, grief, parenting and ADHD.
My approach is to collaborate with you. I believe that if I understand you, then I can more helpful to you. I prefer not to judge what is right or wrong. Instead, I prefer to focus on what is helpful or not helpful. I am looking forward to learning about your strengths. I have trained in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy, CBT for Chronic Pain, EMDR, Yoga, Trauma Focused Yoga, relaxation techniques, mindfulness, and more. My goal to work with you to find the approaches that will suit your needs.
Therapy takes courage. You have already taken the first step to reach out for help. The first step is always the most difficult. If you are motivated to continue the journey, I would love the opportunity to empower and support you in your journey.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
