School Services Therapist

Eastern Carver County School District

Andrea provides school-based services for elementary-aged children and their families. She takes a person-centered, trauma-informed, and strengths-based approach to therapy, creating a supportive environment where children can build emotional awareness, develop coping skills, and strengthen resilience.

Her clinical interests include working with children who have experienced trauma and behavioral challenges and understanding how these experiences impact overall well-being. Andrea draws on her prior experience as an elementary school teacher in her work and is passionate about helping children thrive at school, at home, and in their communities.

Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with her own school-aged children, cheering them on at sporting events, exploring the outdoors, and attending concerts.
