More about Andrew

- LCSW
I'm a therapist with experience supporting individuals through a wide range of life challenges. I work with clients navigating depression, anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, family conflicts, and parenting concerns. My approach is grounded in compassion and respect for each person's unique values and beliefs.
I specialize in helping clients explore self-love, improve communication, work through isolation and loneliness, and discover life purpose. I also support those facing social anxiety, guilt and shame, forgiveness work, trauma recovery, divorce, attachment challenges, financial stress, and workplace concerns. I have particular experience with men's issues, midlife transitions, young adult development, and sexual trauma recovery.
Additionally, I work with clients addressing self-harm, seasonal mood changes, process addictions, grief related to serious illness, dissociation, commitment hesitations, family-of-origin patterns, infidelity, and fatherhood transitions.
I'm fluent in Spanish and English, which allows me to serve a broader community. My therapeutic style honors your worldview—whether faith-centered or secular—and I'm committed to creating a space where you feel genuinely understood and supported as you move toward meaningful change.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
