I have been doing this work since 2009 — which means I have sat with a lot of people through a lot of different kinds of hard. I hold a Master's degree in Counseling with a dual focus in professional counseling and marriage and family therapy, and my career has moved through two distinct chapters that have shaped how I practice. The first half was spent in the world of substance use — working with individuals and families where the stakes were high and the complexity was real. The last several years have been in private practice, where I've worked with the full range of human struggle: depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, substance use disorders, parenting stress, and the disorienting moments when life shifts beneath your feet. I work with individuals, couples, and groups. Very few things surprise me at this point — and that's exactly what makes this work feel safe.
I have a Master's in social work and have been practicing for over 35 years. I am very client- centered. My goal is for you to achieve what you are coming for. I strive to do itI t in the least amount of time as possible. I am certified in EMDR and trained in other trauma focused approaches.
I am a compassionate counselor and easy to get to know. I am excellent listener

Hello! My name is Andrea. First let me say congratulations in taking a first step and looking into therapy. Mental healthcare IS healthcare, and taking care of yourself is so important. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, with a Master's degree in Counselor Education with over 5 years of experience. I enjoy working with individuals in every stage of life, and have the most experience working with teens, young adults and older adults. I take great honor in helping clients find empowerment, healing, and clarity.
When life gives you lemons...
My education gave me the tools to be a skilled clinician. But it was my own trauma that gave me the insight and depth I bring to this work. I know what it feels like to live in a body that doesn’t feel safe—to question everything, including yourself. I spent over a decade learning how to heal, reclaim my voice, and become the kind of guide I once needed.
In the midst of that long journey, I had a quiet moment of clarity: what I was going through wasn’t just about survival—it was about becoming someone who could walk with others through the dark. That experience grounds my work in both knowledge and deep compassion.
Learning to love the desert
I’ve come to believe that being lost isn’t a problem—it’s part of the path. Like La Loba, the mythical bone-gatherer who wanders the desert collecting what’s been buried and brings it back to life, I help others gather what they’ve lost along the way. That process is sacred, slow, and often surprising—but it’s how we come home to ourselves.
There are parts of you that haven’t died; they’ve just been waiting. And sometimes, when it all falls apart, that’s when the wild, wise parts of you rise again.
I’m a therapist who believes in creating a safe, judgment-free space where you can be yourself. I earned my Master’s degree from Western Michigan University and have 7 years of experience in addiction counseling, supporting individuals through recovery and life’s challenges. I’m also trained in EMDR, which helps people process and heal from trauma. My approach is down to earth and focused on giving you practical tools you can use in your everyday life. You don’t have to go through things alone.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Livonia
Searching for therapists in Livonia starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Some Livonia therapists focus on anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, or relationship challenges, while others may have experience with trauma, stress, or family concerns. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, therapy style, and experience match what you want to work on. A profile that mentions approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy can help you understand how they may structure care.
Livonia is a smaller city, so local in-person openings may be more limited than in larger metro areas. Virtual therapy can expand your options across Michigan while still letting you choose a therapist licensed to provide care in the state. When narrowing your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether their schedule works with your routine. Reading therapist bios before booking can also show how each therapist describes their communication style, session structure, and areas of focus.
Therapy in Livonia can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can browse therapists in Livonia, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
