Making the decision to come to counseling can be a difficult one. I understand people face different challenges that stop them from moving forward in their lives.

I believe in a patient approach and emphasize building a trusting relationship to help foster deeper reflection and personal accountability. I look forward to the honor of walking alongside you in your journey to wellness.

Life is hard! Let's talk about it! This life is a series of changes and stages. It is easy to find ourselves stuck in an unhealthy relationship, find ourselves feeling down and hopeless because of a loss, or in a toxic environment at work. Solution focused brief therapy, right thinking and clear boundaries creates good fruit in our lives in every area - work, parenting, marriage, self-esteem, boundaries, etc. I love working with blended families to help every member of the family find their balance in your family. I specialize in helping married couples walk through challenges together to stabilize the relationship.

Hi, I’m Brenna! My passion for mental health comes from my own wellness journey around intergenerational family trauma & mental illness. I help clients explore where they’ve been, where they are, & where they’d like to go using a holistic, mind-body approach. I have a direct, engaging style that focuses on humor & empathy to build a warm, accepting therapeutic relationship. My goal is to empower clients to tell their story while using an intersectional lens & practicing unconditional high regard. I believe each client is the expert on themselves & strive to always practice cultural humility.

Life is hard enough without being uncomfortable in your own body. It starts innocently enough: one diet doesn't work so you move to another. Before you know it, you're ashamed, frustrated, and feeling less than. In a culture that condones this, it can be difficult to know when it's a problem. Yet you know this isn't quite right. Eating can seem hard. You aren't even sure you know how to eat anymore. There has to be a different way. I assure you, there is.

Most of us find ourselves needing support and encouragement when life struggles begin to feel overwhelming. We all are looking to find balance and achieve to our best ability through these struggles. I believe this is the role of therapy. In my experience, therapy is best when individualized not only to the situation that is overwhelming but also to our unique problem-solving abilities. I am a compassionate and understanding therapist that specializes in clients with unique challenges, ADHD, learning disabilities, Deaf, or hard of hearing, and caregiving. Together, we will achieve balance and insight using your unique abilities.

You were not put here on this earth to suffer. You deserve to live your life with happiness and peace of mind. Mental illness and addiction can rob anyone of these precious gifts. When you turn to family and friends for support, often they don't know what to say or how to help. You can end up feeling very alone in the world. No one wants to develop mental illness or addictions. You didn't do anything wrong. Feeling emotionally numb, mentally overwhelmed, or having thoughts like "I just don't want to be on this earth anymore" are not things that people willingly choose for themselves. They are illnesses.

It takes courage to reach out for assistance. I acknowledge that, and welcome you to an environment that asks questions, and promotes change! In my practice, I strive to make the client feel safe, comfortable, and understood from the moment we meet. The quality of the connection between the client and the therapist is fundamental to emotional growth and genuine change. I understand that there are certain feelings, problems, relationship dynamics and behaviors that one would like to feel better about as soon as possible. My practice does not ignore one's need for change in the here and now!
