About Andre

My Approach:

I help individuals and couples strengthen relationships, rebuild trust, heal emotional wounds, and create lasting change. As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC), and Licensed Sex Offender Treatment Provider (LSOTP), I combine evidence-based therapy with genuine compassion to help clients navigate trauma, anxiety, grief, life transitions, and relationship challenges in a safe, supportive environment.

Why I Became a Counselor:

My journey into counseling began long before I earned my degree.  Growing up, I experienced trauma, abuse, instability, and adversity that shaped my understanding of pain and resilience.  Through faith, education, and personal healing, I discovered that our past does not have to define our future.

Those experiences inspired me to dedicate my life to helping others find hope, healing, and lasting change.  Today, I consider it a privilege to walk alongside individuals and couples as they work toward healthier relationships, greater peace, and renewed purpose.

What You Can Expect

Beginning therapy can feel like a big step, but you don’t have to have everything figured out before you start.  My goal is to provide a space where you feel safe, respected, and understood.  Together, we’ll identify what’s keeping you stuck, build on your strengths, and work toward healthier relationships, emotional healing, and meaningful change.
