I received a bachelor’s degree in nursing from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst in 1997 and a master’s degree in family psychiatric mental health nursing from the University of Missouri, Columbia in 2010. I have worked in every area and level of care in psychiatry for over 20 years. My practice is evidence-based built on the foundation of my education which focused on how to assess research in order to understand and effectively utilize it in practice. I work collaboratively and want to provide as much education so you are a partner in your child’s psychiatric care.

Hello! I'm Andrea, born and raised in the vibrant city of Tampa, Florida. As the oldest in a large family, early on, I was witness to the intricacies of mental health both within my family and in the broader community. This exposure instilled in me a deep-seated passion for understanding the human mind and helping individuals navigate their challenges.
Over the years, I've armed myself with academic and practical knowledge. I am proud to hold a master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, supplemented with advanced training in integrated health care practices. I'm also a licensed clinical mental health counselor in Florida, and I provide coaching services both domestically and internationally. Currently, I'm broadening my horizons further with an MBA at the University of California, Los Angeles.
In 2020, I founded Dreavita. What began as a private practice quickly transformed into a beacon of hope and healing in the mental health space. My work in telehealth since 2021 has opened new avenues to reach and support those in need, which prompted me to step away from a telehealth directing position recently to focus solely on Dreavita.
The accolades I've received, including the Orlando Woman of the Year in 2021 and Los Angeles Woman of the Year in 2022, are testaments to our collective efforts at Dreavita. But beyond these awards, my vision for Dreavita remains clear: to offer progressive, inclusive wellness services that foster emotional healing and a deep sense of belonging.
Through active listening and a strength-based approach, we can work together on defining your goals and creating a treatment plan that suits your unique needs. Treatment plans can include medications and other holistic interventions such as movement, adding foods (no diets), specific therapy recommendations, or mindfulness-based techniques. I use interventions that are science-based and supported by evidence.
I have over 8 years experience in treating people with addiction, most of whom had other mental health diagnoses such as depression, anxiety, and PTSD with a focus on women-identifying individuals. Specific therapeutic modalities I use include motivational interviewing and person-centered therapy with elements of cognitive behavioral therapy, but I believe the most powerful part of psychiatric treatment is the relationship we build. In our time together, you will be seen as a whole person, someone who has innate strength amidst the challenges you face.
I graduated from University of Washington school of nursing focused on Psychiatric disabilities and rehabilitation. I work in a pleasing therapeutic environment with a collaborative multidisciplinary team of Psychiatrists, Psychologists, and Licensed Counselors. As a team we are capable of meeting the diverse needs of our treatment population. I am happy to provide pharmacotherapy as an adjunct service to patients working with other counselors or therapists in the community. New patients are always challenging and exciting for me.
