I help people deal with difficult feelings, relationships, substance abuse, sex addiction, and other problems they may face. I provide individual therapy as well as couples therapy. Though it may be difficult to take the first step to seek help, engaging in therapy can be a doorway to fulfilling changes.
If you are suffering from depression, anxiety, and doubt that it is possible to change these feelings, remember, you are not alone. I work in partnership with you to examine patterns that may no longer be useful and to learn how to identify and harness your strengths. My approach is compassionate, direct, and collaborative.

From a young age I was interested in my own thought process as well as those of family members and friends. I was curious about what led to development of painful habits, arguments, feeling states and how change happens. This interest fueled years of training to become a psychotherapist. Today I continue to learn and evolve both in my psychotherapy office and in the classroom.
A relationship can be a fulfilling place for growth and love. It can also be a challenging endeavor. While disagreements and fluctuations in intimacy are normal, sometimes couples get off track. In couples therapy I provide a space for each individual to be heard and understood. I focus on improving communication and intimacy as well as addressing patterns that may not be working.
I have extensive experience helping clients with substance abuse, alcohol abuse, and drug addiction. I have found that clients have unique relationships with substances. An important part of this addiction therapy is finding the utility and meaning of substance use in one's life and identifying the changes you want to make.
I have years of experience and a deep understanding of the unique challenges that lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, transgender and queer individuals and couples face. You may be feeling sad, lonely, anxious, angry or concerned with your relationship. You might have questions about your sexuality, self-judgment, or difficulty negotiating the discomfort of family and friends with your sexuality.
Sex addiction comprises an array of behaviors that are stimulating, have a powerful pull to engage in, and can lead to emotional, relational, legal, financial, health and other problems. While engaging in these sexual behaviors one often feels excited, uninhibited, numb and can forget the realities and challenges of life.

After having spoke with me over the phone, He couldn't see me because of scheduling issues. He followed through on his own time to make sure I had a suitable reference the next day. He never charged me, yet he called me back and gave me instruction. I'm apt to believe that this a magnificent individual.

Andrew is an immensely helpful couples therapist. He's smart, sensitive, and very focused. Couples work can be complicated and tense and he can sometimes balance this by just being a normal approachable guy. Nevertheless, he stays on task and finds the blind spots and patterns that get in the way of a better relationship. The changes don't happen overnight and you often have to process similar arguments and miscommunications till you see what your part is but it's worth it.. I am a big advocate of his work.

I've known Andy for 13 plus years. Andy's approach to his life including his work is practical, clear and honest. He is a guide in the true sense of being able to help others meet the challenging and scary places inside themselves. It's also helpful that he has a warm sense of humor and a big heart that he easily shares with others.
