I had a really good connection with her ever since the start, and have been able to comfortably talk about the topics at hand. I think she’s really amazing and sweet and I always feel great to talk to her. Without her, I wouldn’t have made as much progress as I have
VERIFIED PATIENT TESTIMONIAL

Hi there, I'm Brenda!

I enjoy helping individuals grow, heal, control their emotions, increase self-awareness and confidence, and learn coping skills to reach their best version. I work with a wide range of issues including personality disorders, bipolar disorder, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and substance use disorders.

My focus

I work with adults struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, anger, borderline or bipolar disorders. I also work with couples navigating conflict, estrangement, loss of love, affairs, and communication problems.

My approach

I build rapport and create a safe space with those I work with. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, always person-centered. You tell me what you need and I'll guide you to your goals. I help uncover unconscious thoughts, eliminate negative behaviors, and understand how thoughts lead to feelings and actions.
