Hi! I’m Andrew. I am an MSW graduate student at Catholic University, currently interning as a therapist at Hopeful Core Therapy.

As I near the completion of a master’s degree in clinical social work, I draw on my background in psychology and my passion for supporting individuals through their mental health journeys. My approach to therapy reflects my commitment to integrating evidence-based practices and creating a compassionate environment, aiming to help clients achieve their personal goals and enhance their well-being.

I primarily work with adolescents and adults, with clinical focuses in men’s issues, athletes, infertility, and social pressures.

Through my coursework, I have developed a strong interest in both cognitive-behavioral
and psychodynamic approaches to therapy. I am drawn to cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)
for its structured, goal-oriented methods and its focus on improving thought patterns and
behaviors. At the same time, I am interested in psychodynamic therapy for its exploration
of unconscious processes and how past experiences shape present emotions and behavior.

This blend of approaches allows me to address a wide range of client needs and tailor interventions to best support individual therapeutic goals.

In my free time, I enjoy photography, restoring vintage canoes, and hiking with my dog.
I am enthusiastic about contributing to the Hopeful Core team and supporting clients on their
journey to well-being.

I enjoy working with:

• Men’s issues
• Young adults
• Athletes
• Infertility / Male fertility
• Relationship concerns
• Teen issues
