About me

It's helpful to talk with a therapist when you're sensing that it's time to change, but might be nervous about taking the first step. It takes a lot of courage to really look at what's happening in your life. Sometimes we don't even realize how much pressure we put on ourselves when trying to live up to unrealistic expectations.

We'll talk through things that you never thought you'd say out loud. Hopefully, we'll find out a way for you to connect to yourself and find meaning in your life in a compassionate way.

The best times for us to connect are weekdays, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Brandy has been a wonderful therapist, a true advocate for my mental health. I learned a lot about myself through our conversations and during the experiential activities she coached me through. Her warm regard and kind words put me at ease; I felt very comfortable to share. I will continue to think back to her quotes and activities in order to maintain my progress and work through new issues. Thanks, Brandy!

I am so happy I found Brandy - she helped me turn my life around. She helped me recognize my addictive tendencies and approached every session with love. Hardly a session goes by where we can't share a laugh.

Brandy has been an incredible and most of all compassionate counselor. She really takes the time to listen to you and gently walks you through your emotions. Every time we’d finish our session I left feeling renewed and much more optimistic and calm about my matters.

A true angel she is. She is sweet and kind and funny and she really know how to get you talking. She knows what she listening to and what she’s listening for and she makes an honest effort to know exactly what you’re saying to help give you the best guidance! She gives out helpful worksheets and she offers advice that you take with you and really work on.
