Andrea brings extensive experience supporting individuals navigating addictions, mental health challenges, complex trauma, grief, and life transitions.
Andrea has worked across mental health units for the hospital in Grey and Bruce counties, including the Rapid Access Addiction Medicine (RAAM) program, Assertive Community Treatment Team (ACTT), community outreach (food banks), and mobile Indigenous-led services in rural and remote areas, including First Nations communities. She has provided frontline support for individuals living with substance misuse, withdrawal, suicide risk, chronic pain, and severe psychological distress. Her work also includes supporting those with mental health disorders, crisis de-escalation, case management, housing instability, and complex, multi-agency collaboration.
Andrea is an anti-colonial, wholistic practitioner who honours the full person—considering their family, community, nation, and how belonging, purpose, hope, and meaning are woven into their lives. While her focus always begins where the client wishes to start, Andrea is trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART Basic), Narrative Therapy, Brief Solution-Focused Therapy, and Single Session Therapy.

Andrea works closely with her clients to problem-solve complex situations, always bringing a steady, persistent commitment to community well-being—one person at a time. She believes our journeys are not always clear and that it takes love, not scolding, to help forge new directions.
When she’s not working, Andrea is happily counting chickens and doing chicken math. She enjoys spending time with her children, often being recruited into new Xbox games, Magic: The Gathering battles, or Dungeons & Dragons campaigns. When she finds time for herself, Andrea loves plunging into the icy waters of Georgian Bay and is most at home when writing or painting in oils.
