Hey there! My name is Andie, and I'm here to give you my undivided attention. Please speak openly and honestly with me, as I'm not here to judge-- I respect your individuality. You are a person, you matter, and your feelings are real. We all deserve and need a little support sometimes. I know what it's like to need someone to listen. If you are feeling lonely, I'm also happy to talk to you just as a friend.
Disclaimer: I do not tolerate inappropriate behavior. I am a listener, NOT a licensed professional. I don't have all the answers. I can offer you a safe shoulder to cry on, but if you are feeling suicidal I will urge you to seek emergency professional help.

For those of you whom this part helps, I'm a 23 year-old woman with a degree in Family & Human Development. I previously taught drama and art in China and am pursuing my masters degree in social work with a concentration in mental health services. Currently I work as a mental health technician in a psychiatric hospital and teach a variety of skills to children and teens, such as coping skills, self care, stress and anger management. I have experience as a shelter manager at a crisis center, answering the state-wide Family Violence and Sexual Assault hotline. I also work on campus on issues relating to Title IX and teach interactive workshops concerning healthy relationships. My hobbies include playing cello, mountain dulcimer, traveling, hiking, and  cats! I'm also a member of the LGBTQA+ community. Looking forward to meeting you!
