About Andrea
I am licensed in California, with 25 years of professional experience. For nearly 15 years I ran a residential substance abuse treatment program within the West Los Angeles Department of Veterans Affairs, serving those suffering from homelessness and chronic mental illness. Now working with the population at large, I do my best to help clients cope with: anxiety, personal and professional setbacks, addiction, major life changes, relationship conflicts, career concerns and more. I also teach addiction at Cal State Fullerton University and Loyola Marymount University. If you are concerned about your anxiety, overall poor mood, family/relationship conflicts, drug or alcohol dependency, for example, or if you "just" want to improve your life circumstances---I'd like to help.
