Andrea brings over 20 years of experience in healthcare, including more than 14 years as a nurse and 5 years as a nurse practitioner in primary and urgent care. After completing a post-graduate program to become a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, she transitioned to outpatient mental health, where she found her true calling.

Her diverse background spans emergency services, travel nursing, hormone optimization, and working as a sexual assault nurse examiner. Andrea has also served in outpatient community mental health clinics and residential settings for adults and adolescents living with serious mental illness and neurodevelopmental disorders.

These varied clinical experiences shaped her belief that mental health is the foundation of overall well-being. She embraces a holistic approach to care—one that integrates physical, emotional, and social health—and founded Floss Mental Health to challenge conventional ideas about mental health and make care more individualized, preventative, and empowering.

Andrea’s areas of focus include mental health prevention, lifestyle medicine, psychotherapy, and supporting caregivers such as parents, teachers, healthcare professionals, and first responders. Her mission is to foster resilience through individual wellness and to create trusted spaces for connection and healing.
