What's My Approach to Therapy?
Andria is a therapist whose core values of connection, trust, and compassion shape her approach to supporting clients. Since graduating in 2023 with a degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Denver Seminary, Andria has worked in various private practice outpatient settings where she has specialized in treating adults. She works well with adult women and men who might feel stuck in life, have trouble overcoming anxiety, are struggling to manage stress, are navigating life transitions, or want to heal from toxic relationships or childhood trauma.
When working together, clients can expect a compassionate, non-judgmental, collaborative approach and a safe and supportive environment. Her approach is grounded in evidence-based practices, such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), which helps clients to understand and heal the various parts of self that make up one’s internal world. She also utilizes cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, as well as mindfulness-based and somatic therapy techniques for a holistic and tailored approach to managing anxiety, healing emotional pain and trauma, building self-confidence, and creating a calm and regulated nervous system.
Her therapeutic style is to meet clients exactly where they are with gentleness to create a safe, individualized path to healing. Andria believes change is possible for everyone, but it is often the narratives, stories, and unhealed traumas we have internalized that can make it difficult to move forward. In treatment, Andria helps clients learn to recognize these narratives, to understand their roles, and cultivate self-awareness, compassion, and a harmonious internal system to increase self-acceptance and overall well-being. While untangling it all may feel overwhelming right now, Andria is here to shine a light into the dark places, to walk alongside you, and create a space that allows for healing, growth, and meaningful change.
