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.

My first job at 16, working with the special needs and disability community, was a window into the profound resilience of the human spirit. This experience, combined with my affinity for dance during college, led me to advocate for individuals with eating disorders. It was clear to me then: this was a path I was destined to walk.

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.

Outside of work, I find solace and inspiration in dance, visual arts, cooking, and hiking. Traveling has given me a broader perspective on life, and my love for animals reflects my belief in compassion and unconditional love. Above all, I cherish my interactions with clients. There's an unparalleled beauty in being a witness to someone's journey from hardship to healing, and it's a privilege I hold close to my heart.

Join me at Dreavita, and together, let's "ignite inner strength and embrace life's possibilities."
