I specialize in trauma therapy for sensitive women.
Confidential, evidence-based mental health counseling for women ready to reclaim balance and purpose.
What if your life could get a lot better?
You don’t have to stay stuck in ruminating thoughts or depressive episodes. You don’t have to feel trapped by crippling fear or accept unfulfilling relationships. In our work together, you will unlock aspects of yourself that you never had the opportunity to grow and nurture.
We will go back in time to see how you developed and what coping patterns you took on to survive, then we will rewrite the story. You have the opportunity to redesign your life in magical ways. Together, we will feel our way through your healing journey and build your most empowered self.
Hi, I’m Andrea,
I’m not just a therapist; I am a person who has been through hard things. The reason I became a therapist is because therapy has helped me overcome severe CPTSD and trauma. I have seen how impactful and effective therapy can be for both my clients and for myself. I have seen clients overcome chronic suicidal ideation, severe anxiety, debilitating depression, and reclaim their lives in the most powerful ways. I like to say, if I can help someone feel just a little better than when I found them, I did my job. I am a straight-talking, emotionally available woman who is rooting for you every step of the way.
Trauma Therapy for Women in Washington State
-
You give your time, energy, and attention freely to your job, your family, and everyone who needs you. But without boundaries, the constant giving can leave you drained, resentful, and disconnected from yourself.
-
Navigate your relationships from a place of empowerment. Manage difficult people. Communicate your needs with intimate partners and friends.
-
You’re competent, capable, and constantly on edge. Anxiety may be pushing you to succeed, but it’s also robbing you of peace and presence. Whether it shows up as overthinking, perfectionism, or physical symptoms, anxiety doesn’t have to run your life.
-
Depression can quietly drain your energy and pull you away from the life you want to live. It might show up as persistent sadness, overwhelming fatigue, or a sense of hopelessness that makes everything feel heavier. But depression doesn’t define who you are and it’s possible to feel like yourself again.
-
Early experiences, being told you were “too sensitive,” having to earn love through achievement, or being ignored, criticized, or dismissed can leave lasting imprints. Even decades later, these patterns can quietly shape how you see yourself, fueling feelings of unworthiness and fear of not being enough. Trauma-informed therapy can help you release what no longer belongs to you and live from a place of safety and self-trust.
-
Grief can feel overwhelming. It touches every part of life, from your emotions to your body. Therapy provides a steady place to work through the pain and find meaning after loss.
