I am a licensed in the state of Tennessee as an LPC/MHSP. I have worked both in inpatient and outpatient settings providing therapy services for the last 5 years. I have worked with a wide range of concerns such as suicidal ideation, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, adjustment disorders, and communication problems.
My therapeutic approach is inclusive and focused on building a relationship with each client. I believe this process allows both the client and I to develop a plan for them to see change in a timely manner! I use strategies such as solution-focused therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, person-centered therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy. I believe this combination of approaches allows me to meet each client exactly where they are!
I believe each person deserves respect and consistency within relationships. I understand that life is full of challenges, and I am here to both support and compassionately challenge you as you seek to make change!
I look forward to meeting you!

10/10 one of the best therapists to have. He’s patient and lets you vent. I definitely recommend choosing him. I had therapy with him a year ago and due to circumstances in my life I am redoing it and I’m glad I was able to keep him.

I was honestly very nervous about trying therapy, but he really listens and understands me. I felt comfortable from the first appointment like I could tell him anything. He never interupts me and if he does on accident he acknowledges it. He has been helping me with a lot of my anxiety issues!

I can’t extend enough praise over to Brandon. As someone who has visited with a number of therapists in the last decade, I will tell you Brandon is the best in my personal experience. Instead of making you feel like a human science experiment, his approach is warm and refreshing. I’ve discontinued my membership for now because of how great he’s been! He identified a number of things I wasn’t able to myself. I will take these lessons and try to apply them to my life. If I return to better help there’s no doubt I want to connect with him again.

I have had two sessions with Brandon.
He listens with empathy while challenging thought for a more positive outcome or perspective. In both sessions he has made me say, "I never thought of that! If I see it that way I feel better about my situation."

As someone that has never experienced therapy, Brandon did a wonderful job making me feel heard and comfortable, all while providing meaningful and insightful perspectives to some current struggles I was experiencing. One month of therapy really changed my life, and I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking therapy.

I’ve met with Brandon 3 or 4 times and from the first time we met I knew he’d be very helpful and understanding of my issues. I’ve had several therapists and counselors over the last 10 years but never was open to one so quickly. He listens, digests and speaks with integrity and knowledge. I look forward to talking with Brandon every week.

I've found Brandon to be extremely helpful and insightful.
