**TELEHEALTH ONLY**
Andrew specializes in working with couples facing repetitive conflict, difficulty with communication, overwhelming confusion, and an inability to figure out how to make it better. Additionally, he works with individuals facing anxiety, depression, and adjustment to life changes inside and outside their relationships.

He also works with many clients seeking individual therapy as they attend couples therapy separately. These clients benefit from a professional perspective into their individual experience and its impacts on their relationship. In a way, Andrew pulls back the curtain of therapy to show you what your experiencing with greater clarity and what is happening in couples therapy.

Andrew has a unique ability to organize the conflicts you and your partner have repeated so that they have less power over you. He can arm you with an enhanced capacity to make new choices that positively impact your life and your relationship. If you have ever felt completely confused by the fights you and your partner are having, Andrew is the person to make it clear. From there, he can help you create bridges of connection which thrive on mutual understanding and empathy.

Andrew loves using imagery as he explores the emotional undertones of daily moments. Whether it is the cold water of loneliness or the pain of hiking the mountain seeking the sweet sunrises in your relationship. He does this with intention to connect your physical and emotional experience to your struggles.

When those you care about so much become the source of your frustration and distress, it can feel incredibly overwhelming. You are left scared, angry, alone, and sometimes hopeless. Meeting with a therapist can feel daunting because you don't know what to expect. You don't know if it will work and you are afraid of what may come out in sessions. These are all normal feelings and the only way to know if therapy with Andrew is right for you and your partner is to try it. To let your desire for an improved relationship outweigh your doubt in having hope.
