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.

Hi there! As a queer person, I know how hard it is to find a therapist you feel safe to open up to. My role is to provide quality therapy in a safe, judgement-free zone. My clients often feel overwhelmed, stuck, or different and struggle with depression, anxiety, perfectionism, life stress, and trauma. Although I specialize in LGBTQ+ affirming therapy (especially with lesser-known identities such as asexual, aromantic, nonbinary, genderfluid, etc), I work with all kinds of people who simply want a better life.

You are unique, and have something valuable to express, offer, and live. We suffer when we feel cut off from this, when the circumstances and experiences of life do not reflect our deepest knowing of self. Depression, anxiety; feeling stuck, un-motivated, lost, dissatisfied with life; addiction, unhealthy relationships, illness, loss.... These are all wake-up calls, sacred opportunities to learn to love oneself more fully; invitations to transform and heal. I help people restore clarity, connection, love, and get to the root of what's blocking their full aliveness.

I focus on providing a safe, calm environment where clients learn to trust. A warm and collaborative environment helps clients to regain a sense of felt safety, autonomy, and empowerment. Clients report they feel seen, heard, accepted, and understood. An environment free of judgement encourages clients to “use their voice,” a gentle prompt my clients hear often. I believe in the resiliency of the human spirit and in the inherent motivation to survive. I will meet you wherever you are on your journey. My approach includes compassionate confrontation and client accountability. If you are ready to work, I am your counselor.

Everyone is on a journey and searching for something: meaning, purpose, belonging, or connection. In our journey, we inevitably become lost or stuck. We can lose our sense of direction, or the path becomes too dense for us to continue forward. As a counselor, I see myself as a fellow traveler, working in collaboration with my clients. My clients invite me to walk with them, and together we can clear the path or find a new direction.

Feminist Therapists

How does feminist therapy work?

Feminist therapy sessions are not only personal but often cultural or political in nature, as the approach is based on the belief that people are affected by, and often struggle with, cultural and societal norms and biases, and need to move beyond those external pressures or stressors to tap their own confidence and engage more fully in their own identity. Sessions may therefore include discussions of sexism, diversity, and gender issues and talk of steps toward greater empowerment for patients who believe they have been silenced and seek to raise their voices.

What are examples of feminist therapy techniques?

Along with traditional talk therapy and analysis, a feminist therapist may employ techniques such as role-playing and assertiveness training to help clients build their self-esteem so that they feel they can act freely, and not based on cultural expectations or gender roles dictated by others. A feminist therapist may also engage in bibliotherapy, offering suggested readings on gender identity or social power inequities as they work toward viewing mental-health concerns through a broad cultural lens before focusing on how they affect the individual. Somatic therapy techniques, with an emphasis on body awareness, self-compassion, and mindfulness practices are also often part of feminist therapist practice.

How long does feminist therapy last?

As with most forms of talk therapy, there is no set duration or end point for feminist therapy; people who believe that they are making progress typically continue until they feel they’ve addressed the issues that had been holding them back. It may take some time to become comfortable discussing personal issues, but once a client feels they can do so, they could expect therapy to last for a number of months, typically including at least 12 sessions.

Does feminist therapy work?

As a relatively recent therapeutic technique, there is not yet a body of evidence proving the efficacy of feminist therapy. However, the approach is based on proven core principles of talk therapy, with a particular emphasis on developing a therapeutic relationship based on equality and authentic connection between therapist and client and discovering and building on clients’ personal strengths to help them gain a greater sense of personal power and agency.
