Breaking Generational Cycles, Healing Relational Trauma, & Reclaiming Your Identity
Virtual Therapy For adults in NY, DC, VA, VT, and UT.
Are you holding it all together on the outside but struggling on the inside?
Maybe you're the person others count on. You show up, get things done, and keep moving, even when you're overwhelmed, exhausted, or unsure of what you need.
You might find yourself overthinking everything, feeling anxious even when things seem fine, or struggling with patterns in your relationships that you can't seem to break. Maybe you're navigating a major life change, carrying grief that others don't fully understand, or realizing that the ways you've learned to cope aren't working for you anymore.
You don't have to wait until things fall apart to get support. Therapy can be a space to better understand yourself, work through what you've been carrying, and find ways to move forward that feel more manageable and true to who you are.
You deserve support, too.
How I Can Support You
You don't have to have everything figured out to start therapy. Explore the areas below to learn more about the support available to you.
-
Do you find yourself putting others first, struggling to set boundaries, or feeling responsible for everyone else's needs? Maybe you've learned to rely on yourself because it hasn't always felt safe to depend on others.
Therapy can help you understand how earlier experiences and family relationships shape the way you relate to yourself and others today.
-
Does your mind rarely slow down? Are you feeling overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or finding it harder to keep up with everyday life?
Whether you're navigating persistent worry, low mood, perfectionism, or burnout, therapy can help you understand what you're experiencing and find ways to feel more like yourself again.
-
Not all losses are easy to explain or openly acknowledged. You may be grieving a loved one, navigating an estranged or complicated family relationship, or mourning a future that looks different from what you imagined.
Therapy offers space to process what you've lost, make sense of complicated feelings, and find your footing as life changes.
-
Even changes you've worked toward can leave you feeling uncertain about what comes next. A career change, a new stage of adulthood, changing relationships, or shifting priorities can bring up questions about who you are and what you want.
Therapy can help you work through the uncertainty, reconnect with your needs, and decide what moving forward looks like for you.
-
Pregnancy, postpartum, and the journey toward parenthood can bring a mix of emotions you may not have expected. You might be navigating anxiety, changes in your identity or relationships, a difficult birth experience, fertility challenges, or the pressure to feel a certain way about becoming a parent.
As a PMH-C, I offer specialized support to help you navigate these experiences with greater understanding and compassion.
Meet Andrea
Hello! I’m Andrea
I'm the founder of Cardinal Hope and Healing LLC, where I provide virtual therapy for adults navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, grief and loss, and major life transitions, including pregnancy and postpartum.
My clinical background includes university crisis counseling and virtual student mental health services. I bring a warm, grounded presence to therapy, creating space for you to explore what you're experiencing, make sense of patterns, and find a way forward that feels right for you.
As a Black woman and first-generation college graduate, I recognize how easily caring for others and navigating competing expectations can leave little room for your own needs. My approach is culturally responsive, collaborative, and practical, with therapy tailored to your experiences, strengths, and goals.
“Be Yourself. Everyone Else Is Already Taken.”
