About Me
Hi! I’m glad you’re here!
A little about me. I am Andrea Nus. Some of my identities and advantages – I am a heterosexually married, white, cisgender, neurodivergent, childfree woman in a fat and abled body. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Iowa. My spouse and I have two beloved fur babies (see below for cuteness). And I enjoy creating by painting, drawing and shooting photos of nature, spending time with loved ones, and listening to live music.
A life long learner (not knower), I spend a lot of time attending and staffing trainings, reading, listening to podcasts, attending a few groups, and most influential – learning by life experiences. Especially my mistakes. The heaps of piles of mistakes. In particular, I am passionate to learn more about people – the human brain, relationships, communication styles, and aspects of human history. Self-growth and deep connections are a few of my core values.
In my professional development as a therapist, I’ve experienced many great teachings. In pursuit of personal and professional development, I have received good and great coaching in a couple of areas of my life. A few years ago, I became interested in becoming a coach. In 2022, I began a coaching program designed specifically for therapists. We wrapped up in Spring 2023, and I continue to learn and develop my coaching skills.
Until 2021, I never considered running a group of any kind. As an introvert, the idea of facilitating a group made everything inside of me holler “Hell to the No!” Because of the changes and healing I’ve experienced in recent years in a few groups, I want to take this risk. I am willing to. Because I desire for more people with bodies like mine to be able to experience what I have. And I also hope Coaching and workshops I will offer will allow more people to reach their #Relationshipgoals. Take a look around this site and if what I offer is of interest to you, reach out and we’ll set up a time to connect on your interests and questions.
