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 where we recognize that our own 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. Change often feels uncomfortable because the emotions that accompany change are ones that we have been taught are not valuable. However, the current literature on emotions shows that emotions are linked to cognition, reasoning, and the ability to navigate complex situations.

Luckily, we can learn to identify and work with these emotions by developing strategies and practices for working with them in the context in which they arise. We can try different approaches and see whether what we did was helpful. If not, we get to try again.

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 sail smoother seas.

Andrea’s expertise is in emotions, emotion regulation. She applies this expertise to provide advocacy and interventions for people who are either seeking to divorce and co-parent and not enter high-conflict dynamics (mediation for divorce and parenting and decision making plans without litigation) or for those who are navigating the tumultuous seas of divorce, high conflict parenting, and/or parent-child contact problems.

Creating space. Welcoming wisdom. Effective Strategies.

Andrea provides the following services: Parent Coordination and/or Decision-Making, Parent Coaching, Parent-Child Therapeutic Supervision, and, beginning in March 2026, Mediation services for Divorce.

Feelings and emotions can be difficult to understand, let alone trust, especially if they have always gotten us or those we love into trouble or if someone is experiencing mental health challenges. Learning to work with and regulate emotions effectively can be liberating. Perhaps you experience the darkness of rage and need control, even when it hurts others. Maybe you learned to take care of those around you, but never truly learned to care for your own needs. If you feel tired, overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, filled with rage, apathetic, confused, hurt, or afraid that you will never break free from the cycle you are in, I can help.
