About Andrew
He draws on personal experience with loss to inform his work. That early experience led him to seek therapy and later to pursue a career helping others. His background includes long-term work with people coping with trauma, mood concerns, and addictions.
In sessions he keeps the focus on what matters most to the client. He uses clear, goal-focused conversations to identify small changes that can ease day-to-day stress. He also addresses family and interpersonal patterns that contribute to ongoing problems.
Andrew integrates several therapeutic styles to match each person's needs. He uses client-centered methods to build rapport and understand experience. He incorporates cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thinking and to try new behaviors. He also draws on solution-focused and trauma-informed techniques when those fit the client's goals.
Clients can expect calm, direct guidance and practical options to try between sessions. He practices in Hawaii and holds LMFT credentials for work in clinical settings. To start, he asks people to describe their concerns and goals so together they can choose what to work on.
