Joy Potential Coaching & Counseling

With tremendous kindness, wisdom, depth, and warmth, Andrea has dedicated herself to accompanying clients on a journey of personal discovery, deep healing, and self-inquiry, in order to reconnect to their inherent wholeness and peace.

Andrea earned her Master’s degree from Ohio University and is a graduate of the three-year Somatic Experiencing training, a modality developed by Dr. Peter Levine.

Somatic Experiencing with Andrea can be beneficial for anyone experiencing the effects of trauma or chronic stress. It is particularly helpful for those who feel that traditional talk therapies have not fully addressed their needs. If you’re looking for a holistic approach that integrates both body and mind, Somatic Experiencing might be a good fit for you.

Andrea’s various professional experiences as an art historian, published writer and researcher, school co-founder, and teacher have paved the way for a coaching career that is rich in curiosity, compassionate interest in others, and an insatiable love of learning.

When not supporting clients, which is work that she finds both inspiring and deeply rewarding, Andrea can be found behind the lens of her camera or enjoying time with her husband of 35 years, their two adult daughters and new son-in-law, and their pets, Poppy and Arlo.
