Aesthetic Physician Assistant

Known for her warm, approachable style and refined aesthetic eye, Andrea blends clinical expertise with an artistic perspective to deliver natural, confidence-boosting results.

Andrea’s path into medicine was rooted in a desire to care for the whole person—not just treat symptoms, but enhance overall well-being. She found her passion in aesthetics, where she could combine her medical background with her ability to help patients feel more confident and aligned with how they see themselves.

She specializes in neuromodulators, facial balancing, and skin-quality treatments, often incorporating biostimulatory and regenerative approaches to support long-term collagen production and skin health. Andrea is particularly known for her work in lower-face neurotoxin treatments for jawline contouring, as well as combining injectables with laser and light-based therapies for comprehensive, natural-looking rejuvenation.

Knowledge You Can Trust

Andrea began her medical career as a Respiratory Therapist before earning her Physician Assistant degree from the University of Washington’s MEDEX program. Her background brings a strong clinical foundation and a patient-first mindset to every treatment. Over the past five years in aesthetics, she has continued to refine her expertise through advanced training in injectables, skin rejuvenation, and combination therapies, with a focus on safe, effective, and evidence-based care.

Small Procedures, Big Impacts

Patients appreciate Andrea’s ability to create a welcoming, supportive experience that feels more like a conversation than a clinical appointment. Her philosophy centers on building long-term relationships, prioritizing trust, and delivering results that feel natural and authentic. She believes aesthetic treatments are not about changing how you look—but about helping you feel like yourself again, with subtle, meaningful improvements that enhance confidence.

Outside of the Office

Originally from the Midwest and now based in San Diego, Andrea embraces the coastal lifestyle and vibrant energy of the community. She enjoys traveling—especially to Italy and France—where she finds inspiration in fashion, culture, and design. Outside the clinic, she loves exploring local restaurants, spending time outdoors, and being a proud pet parent to her three cats.
