Working with Andrew has been genuinely transformative. After years of traditional therapy, I was looking for something to help me connect more deeply with my emotions and understand the patterns behind my reactions. Andrew has an incredible ability to tailor the experience to the individual. He pays close attention, knows when to gently challenge you, and when to simply hold space and let you sit with what you’re feeling. Through our work together and the NARM model, I’ve become much more aware of how emotions show up in my body, less reactive in my relationships, and more compassionate with myself overall. I’ve gained a deeper understanding of why I do certain things instead of just trying to ‘fix’ them. I would highly recommend Andrew to anyone looking for therapy that feels both insightful & deeply human.

When I started working with Andrew, I was experiencing personal trauma within my family, and I needed to be able to share my thoughts and feelings with someone professionally qualified. It has been hard work, but it has been rewarding and satisfying. One of the things I like about working with Andrew is that there are natural prompts and challenges to my thinking without being intimidating or threatening in any way. One of the biggest changes I’ve noticed in my work with him is a greater sense of being my own free agent. I feel now that my journey is valid however it changes or doesn’t change. Andrew works very hard. It’s evident that he has taken his profession quite seriously. He is always fully present in session. He’s never “phoning it in.” That takes a lot of commitment and a lot of energy. Andrew has natural talent for his profession and approaches the therapeutic relationship as a joint one. He is sincere and works to create a mutually comfortable space.

Andrew has shared some profound statements that forever changed my perspective and behaviors of daily life. He said that “being is the seed of doing” and, “do not be attached to outcome.” He continues to influence my life by showing the importance of authenticity, integrity, and service. Andrew utilizes his multifaceted skills with kindness, honesty, neutrality, and curiosity. He is whole-hearted, highly educated, and intuitive while helping me navigate some major life changes. Andrew has supported me through various challenges and transitions in my life including moving out of state, “empty nesting” as a single mom, releasing repetitive toxic behaviors due to trauma, handling chronic pain/illness in sobriety, and a career change with a business startup. His understanding and support with complex trauma has improved the quality of my life. I now have long-term tools to assist in staying present, being aware of my emotions, and navigating the physical changes within my body, thus helping me be less reactive and acknowledging it much faster than I used to. Andrew has influenced me to let go of the victim role and learn the true meaning of being empowered with the ability of having peace of mind in my daily life.

Before I started working with Andrew, I tried doing everything…except actually working through my traumas and insecurities. Reading self-help books, meditation, yoga & walking for miles were all great things to do but it’s only a temporary fix. My life before working with Andrew was very stressful, high anxiety and I was depressed. Now I feel like I am a flower that grew and opened. I handle stressful situations so much better, and my anxiety level has gone down so much. I would say my depression is gone. Self-doubt is slightly still there but so much better than before. My communication skills and expressing myself have improved so much. I feel so empowered, and I am actually following my heart with everything I want to do and actually going and doing. I am not letting FEAR run my life. I am such an advocate for Andrew. I tell everyone about him, how he has helped me, and that if they are looking for a therapist he is the one. He doesn’t just sit there and talk about things and listen. He likes to find the root and work through it. I find this works so much better for me instead of someone just listening and questioning. He also keeps it 100% real with you. And if you’re going to better yourself and take accountability for things and start healing, you need that.

I was experiencing a lot of uncertainty in my life. It was leading to drug abuse, disassociation, anxiety, depression, and panic attacks. My life felt void of meaning and my negative self-identification was crippling me from making any changes. I had tried therapy in the past, so I figured I’d try again. I found Andrew’s profile online and gave it a shot. Andrew responded quickly and was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and kind. After a consultation, we agreed to start working together. Andrew genuinely cared about my success and well-being. He was engaging and incredibly resourceful. His approach to therapy will stay with me forever. I was able to talk through my problems, create a clear vision for my future, develop steps to get there, and execute them. Working with Andrew helped me learn a lot about myself while making a huge career transition. I have a lifetime foundation of happiness to build upon thanks to the incredible support of Andrew. To anyone looking, I highly recommend reaching out and speaking with Andrew. It is well worth the investment in yourself.
Before meeting Andrew I had always tried to bottle things up and not really face my problems; my life was filled with anxiety and what-ifs. I thought that if I put everything to the side my problems would just go away. I was constantly anxious about past trauma and future possibilities. I had a hard time setting goals and really finding the motivation to keep going. After meeting and working with him for many months, we developed actionable plans and goals to help me. He took the time to ask questions and understand my situations. He never assumed anything and never judged. He really helped me be present and face my problems head on. It was scary at first working with him since providers start off as strangers, but he did his best to let me know he was on my team and was there to help. I strongly suggest working with Andrew if you have any struggles in your life. He’s caring, non-judgmental, understanding, and is super positive. If you’re looking for a sign to start your healing path, this is it.
