Hi! I’m Andrea.
I enjoy spending time with family and friends. I love being active and enjoy biking outdoors, spinning and downhill skiing.
I have a Bachelor of Social Work degree from Western University and a Master of Social Work degree from the University of British Columbia. I have practiced as a registered social worker for over 25 years. My career began in the community with children and families and transitioned to hospitals. For the past 20 years, I have worked in health care in a variety of clinical areas but primarily in the Intensive Care Unit.
My experience is in supporting individuals and families through a diverse range of difficult and complex issues such as grief and loss, chronic and life-limiting illness, anxiety and depression, substance use, caregiver stress, relationship stress, and coping. I also have experience and training in supporting individuals who experience secondary traumatic stress in their jobs such as healthcare workers and first responders.
I have training in evidence-based approaches of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Strength-Based Therapy. Additionally, I draw upon Emotionally Focused Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy. My therapeutic approach is not pre-determined, rather it is guided by the collaborative relationship established with the client. I value and draw upon the life experience, self-knowledge, and resilience the client brings.
I appreciate the strength it takes to reach out for support. You will find that I am client-centered, empathetic, and non-judgmental. I have a warm and relaxed style.
I look forward to exploring how we can work together to support your needs and goals through the therapeutic process.
