Hello everyone! My name is Andrea, and I am currently a dedicated and compassionate intern with The Empowering Space. With a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, accompanied by double minors in Rehabilitation and Criminal Justice, and working on a Master’s in Social Work, I want to bring a comprehensive and empathetic approach to my working practice. Over the past four years as a social worker, I have had the privilege of working with children, families, adolescents, and adults. These experiences have bettered my understanding of the diverse challenges individuals face and have fueled my passion for providing support and guidance through therapy. I am particularly interested in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), two evidence-based approaches that can empower you to make meaningful changes in your life. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or other personal challenges, I am here to help you navigate these obstacles and work towards a more fulfilling life. My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel heard and understood. Together, we will explore your thoughts and feelings, identify patterns that may be holding you back, and develop strategies to enhance your well-being. Thank you for considering me as a partner in your journey towards growth and healing. I look forward to working with you and supporting you every step of the way.

Working under the supervision of Yanitza Rice.
