ABOUT
Andrew (he/him/his) approaches therapy with curiosity, connection, insight, acceptance, compassion, and a splash of humor. He aims to create an environment where you can feel safe to explore, discover and embrace your truest and best self. He believes an essential task of therapy is to foster reflection in order to develop self-awareness, leading to a greater ability to adaptively and effectively navigate life.
Outside of the therapy room, you can find Andrew at a pilates class, watching a true crime docuseries, planning a trip, or playing with his shih tzu/border terrier, Shirley. Andrew is involved with the Central Park Conservancy, the Stonewall Community Foundation and Best Friends Pet Adoption Center.
