Creator and Connector

I’ve been a creator and connector from the beginning.

Little Andrea created highly detailed forts in her backyard and rearranged her bedroom over and over to create different vibes. Late thirties Andrea created a podcast (before it was cool) and connected to creatives and leaders in West Michigan and around the country. And current day Andrea has created a private therapy practice with a pink couch and a funky gallery wall that holds relational work as its core value.

I hold a graduate degree in social work from Grand Valley State University. I have worked in hospice, inpatient hospital, outpatient clinics and transplant settings in my early career. I have a post graduate certification in sexual health from University of Michigan, I am a Certified Body Trust® Provider and I am a SoulCollage® Facilitator.

I absolutely love my work in the world.

I create and connect in other areas of my life too. I love talking for hours about the deepest, silliest and most meaningful things over an iced coffee (black). I spend hours cutting images from magazines to feed my SoulCollage® habit. I scour thrift stores for the most unique finds in order to curate a unique outfit. And I love laughing with my family (teens and young adult kids are the best!)

If you’re looking for more creativity and connection in your life, I’d love to connect!
