Finding our way home.

Each of us has unique experiences in the world. Our feelings, our emotions, and our beliefs are all shaped by these experiences. Sometimes we reach a point when we recognize our behaviors or others’ behaviors are not supporting the kind of person we want to be, the relationships we want to have, or the life we want to live. These tender moments are the beginning of change, and this can feel destabilizing because of the perception the world has about the emotions that often accompany change. It can challenge our identity, our values, and what we believe our life would be like. Change can be challenging, and sometimes we need support from a caring professional. You have found a safe harbor. A place where you can connect, slow down, and make changes that are important to you. Dynamic Emotional Integration® combined with therapeutic guidance can help people navigate painful, challenging feelings and listen to the emotions that come to help us navigate our lives.

Andrea’s training in social work supports an anti-oppressive, strengths-based, systems approach that helps acknowledge and address both internal and external forces. Together, we develop skills and practices to help hold these two forces to find the path that works for ourselves, our families, and the well-being of our communities.

Creating space. Building trust. Welcoming wisdom.

Feelings and emotions can be difficult to understand, let alone trust, especially if they have always gotten us into trouble. Learning to work with them instead of fighting them, shaming them, running away from them, or numbing them can be life-changing. Perhaps you experience the darkness of rage and need control-even when it hurts others. Perhaps you learned to take care of those around you, but never truly discovered who you are and what you love. If you feel tired, overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, filled with rage, apathetic, confused, or afraid you will never break free from the cycle you are in, I can help.
