Andrea has been practicing as an occupational therapist since 2007, with a focus in mental health. She has had the opportunity to work in various mental health settings over the course of her career including inpatient and outpatient facilities with both adults and adolescents. She received formal DBT training in 2012 and has felt excited about this form of treatment ever since.
 

"While being deeply rooted in evidence to support its efficacy, DBT aligns with my philosophy of balancing genuine warmth and acceptance while moving people towards change to create a life worth living. I believe that every person has the capacity to change and offers something unique to the world."
