Hello and welcome, I’m Andrea!
At Renewed Hope Counselling, I bring a rich tapestry of life experiences and academic training to my work. I hold a Psychology degree from Queen’s University and have completed Masters-level courses in psychotherapy. My journey began with a music diploma from Mohawk College, where I spent decades teaching violin and nurturing creativity in others. In 2019, I felt called to pursue my passion for helping others heal, leading me back to school to focus on psychology.
I am also a Psychometrist at Relanding Psychological Service. A psychometrist specializes in administering and scoring psychological and neuropsychological tests. In my role, I work with children aged 6 to 16, assessing potential learning disabilities, giftedness, ADHD, or autism.
As a proud mom of four, I’ve lived in Chatham for 17 years and cherish my community. When I’m not working, I enjoy spending quality time with my family, gardening, playing music or organizing a cupboard!
