I am a clinical mental health counselor licensed in Florida and Hawaii with seven years of experience. Counseling is my second career path, as I am also a licensed pharmacist with over 28 years of experience. I have worked with many clients with a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD, and ADHD. I have also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
My counseling style is to work as a team with my clients to figure out what works best for them. I believe in treating all individuals from all walks of life with respect and compassion. My theoretical approach combines cognitive-behavioral therapy, reality therapy, brief solution-focused therapy, career/vocational counseling, and mindfulness. I will personalize our sessions and your therapeutic treatment plan to meet your unique needs and goals.
It takes courage and strength to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. So I commend you for that. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

When I first met Dr. Branson, I was somewhat skeptical but after opening up to her, I know that she is very skilled at recognizing my issues and the things I am struggling with. I feel pretty confident that she can help me and that she understands my issues pretty well. I am finding great relief in learning about techniques that I can use to help myself slow down my thinking and to work on healing myself. It has been a good experience so far and I am grateful to her for her insights and help. She is easy to talk with and there is a nice flow to our sessions. I would definitely recommend her highly to anyone who is looking for help in better understanding themselves and to learn strategies and techniques for staying more focused in the present and helping themselves to heal from their past.
