Hi there, I'm Brenda!
I work with children, couples, individuals, and families who are seeking therapy to help them manage the strong emotions showing up in their lives.
My focus
I support clients with depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use, relationship difficulties, anger management, grief, and gender identity.
My approach
I utilize DBT techniques to support clients with mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. With couples, I use emotion-focused therapy and the Gottman method. For children, I incorporate play and art interventions to help them express emotions and learn positive coping mechanisms.
