“I approach counseling as both a professional vocation and a ministry of care. I believe deeply that every person is created with inherent worth, purpose and the capacity for renewal. Guided by my Christian faith, I seek to reflect Christ’s compassion in my work, offering a safe and grace-filled space where clients can share their stories, wrestle with challenges and experience healing and hope.”
Andrea considers it a sacred privilege to walk alongside individuals and families during seasons of struggle. Clients describe her as warm, steady and visibly attentive. Andrea strives to create an environment where people feel genuinely heard and supported, whether they are navigating anxiety, depression, grief, relational conflict, spiritual questions, or major life transitions. Her approach integrates evidence-based therapeutic practices with a holistic understanding of emotional, relational and spiritual well-being.
With more than two decades of counseling experience, Andrea has worked with children, adolescents, adults and families across a wide range of concerns. She values collaboration and seeks to help clients identify strengths, develop healthier patterns and rediscover hope rooted in God’s presence and faithfulness. For clients who desire it, Andrea is comfortable incorporating prayer, Scripture and Christian worldview perspectives into the therapeutic process.
Andrea earned her Master of Social Work (MSW) from Western Michigan University in 2001 and her Bachelor’s degree from Taylor University in 1994. Since beginning her counseling career in 2001, she has remained committed to serving others with humility, integrity and a heart for restoration. She welcomes clients from all backgrounds and seeks to honor each person’s unique story. Andrea’s desire is that every client leaves feeling encouraged, strengthened and reminded that they are not alone.
