Andrea worked with my preteen daughter during a difficult period, including Covid isolation and family changes. I felt so good about leaving her in Andrea’s trusted hands to work through her struggles with art. My daughter loves drawing so it was a perfect fit, an easy and creative way to get her to engage openly with the problems that were bothering her. My daughter was always happy to go and content upon picking her up. Andrea’s approach with my daughter was very welcoming and empathetic. More...

What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
The safety and well-being of my clients have always been a top priority. In response to the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, I have implemented a series of measures to ensure a safe and secure environment for all:
Virtual Sessions: To minimize in-person contact, I have transitioned to offering virtual therapy sessions. This allows clients to receive the support they need from the comfort of their own homes.
Enhanced Sanitization: For clients who prefer in-person sessions, I have implemented rigorous sanitization protocols. The therapy space is thoroughly cleaned and sanitized between sessions to create a safe environment.
Social Distancing: During any in-person interactions, I maintain appropriate social distancing to ensure a safe distance between myself and clients.
Mask Usage: In line with health guidelines, I wear a mask during in-person sessions to provide an additional layer of protection for both myself and my clients.
Health Monitoring: I closely monitor my health and well-being, rescheduling appointments if I show any symptoms related to COVID-19 or have been in contact with someone who has tested positive.
Flexible Rescheduling: Clients experiencing any symptoms or discomfort are encouraged to reschedule their sessions without any penalties, ensuring that they prioritize their health and safety.
Regular Updates: I stay informed about the latest health guidelines and recommendations to ensure that my practices remain aligned with the best safety measures.
These adjustments reflect my commitment to maintaining a secure and supportive environment for my clients, no matter the circumstances. Your well-being remains at the heart of everything I do, and I am dedicated to providing you with the highest level of care while prioritizing safety during these challenging times.
