Licensed Professional Counselor - NC and SC

About Andrea

Andrea is a Licensed Professional Counselor who provides in-person therapy services at Balanced Wellness’ Ridgeland, South Carolina office and offers virtual appointments to clients across both North and South Carolina. She approaches therapy with empathy and a strong commitment to building meaningful therapeutic relationships, believing that healing begins with feeling truly seen and understood. Andrea enjoys working with young adults and adults from all walks of life and values creating a supportive, collaborative space where clients feel safe to explore their experiences and move toward greater balance and well-being.

Ideal Client

Andrea particularly enjoys working with military families, both new and seasoned mothers, individuals navigating infertility or estrangement from their partners, and those with a history of trauma. Her ideal clients may be experiencing symptoms related to PTSD, anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, or adjustment disorders.

Clients often seek Andrea’s support when they feel overwhelmed, emotionally distressed, or destabilized by life transitions or past experiences. She works best with individuals who are seeking relief from symptoms while also wanting to understand and address the underlying factors contributing to their current challenges.

Therapeutic Approach

Andrea begins therapy by developing a strong rapport and helping clients stabilize and manage symptoms through coping skills tailored to their unique needs. Once clients feel more grounded, she takes a collaborative approach to identify and utilize therapeutic interventions aimed at addressing the root causes of distress. Through processing experiences and practicing new skills, clients often experience a reduction in symptoms and move toward a greater sense of peace and stability in their personal lives.

Andrea utilizes an eclectic, client-centered approach and draws from a variety of evidence-based modalities depending on the individual she is working with. These may include person-centered therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), somatic interventions, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS).
