Andrea has worked in social services for more than 20 years in a wide variety of areas. She founded EmployAbility: Employment and Housing Solutions in 2014. This small agency helps people with a mental health diagnosis and/or other disabilities meet their employment and housing-related goals.

However, she sorely missed group facilitation and decided to develop an anger management group as a side project. By transitioning this group to an online format, she can reach a broader audience.

​

Andrea's preferred treatment method is Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) because it allows people to feel they have greater control over their lives. She has practiced CBT for most of her career but most notably when facilitating groups as a contractor for the State of Wisconsin for many years.

Andrea enjoys swing-era dancing, sailing, and spending time outdoors in her free time. These activities help her maintain a healthy work-life balance and recharge her energy to continue her work.
