I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Indiana and have been in practice since 2016. I help people navigate life’s challenges—including anxiety, stress, relationship concerns, trauma, depression, and low self-esteem.
I view therapy as a genuine partnership where we set goals, explore what’s working, and adjust as we grow. My approach is calm, compassionate, and collaborative. Some sessions focus on practical coping skills, while others create space for reflection and understanding.
I strive to make therapy a safe, supportive place for healing and growth—one where you can build insight, confidence, and resilience. Taking this step takes courage, and you don’t have to do it alone. Change is possible, and I’d be honored to walk beside you on your journey.

Brandon is extremely attentive and empathetic. I feel comfortable coming to him with anything, big or small; he always makes me feel like my concerns are important. His biggest strength is helping me find middle ground where I only see black and white.

Brandon does a great job of keeping up with my random thoughts and keeping the notes straight between my (self scheduled) inconsistent meetings with him. Great at listening and keeping it casual, not feeling like therapy… more like friends having coffee.

Brandon is great! I was able to relate to him on a variety of levels and feel like he understood my concerns. I expected to have to match multiple times to find the right therapist and he was the first one. I couldn't be more grateful. Looking forward to more sessions

Brandon has been absolutely wonderful. During a time when life has felt incredibly chaotic, our sessions have become a genuine source of relief for me. He creates a space where I feel comfortable talking openly, sorting through everything, and leaving with a little more clarity than I came in with. I truly appreciate his patience, understanding, and ability to help me navigate the chaos without ever making me feel judged or overwhelmed. I’m very grateful to have found him and would absolutely recommend him.
