My Approach to Helping
Life is a journey, sometimes it can feel like a struggle. Andrea Bullard believes that our experiences are learning opportunities and the work you do to meet them, as an individual, as a couple, or as a family, is a journey home, to yourself, and your relationships.
Andrea seeks to engage the body, the mind, and the heart, and supports clients’ curiosity and presence by providing a safe, judgment-free environment. Therapeutic work can feel very delicate and simultaneously potent. Andrea recognizes that to step onto this path of change and growth requires no small amount of courage and feels that walking alongside someone on their healing path is an honor and privilege. Her desire is to support each of her clients in finding resources, discovering ease, and developing coherence in their body, mind, and heart in order to meet and fully engage in life.
