LCSW-C, 21 years of experience
If you're experiencing inner turmoil that’s affecting your peace of mind and daily life, therapy can help—and I’m here to support you through it. Often described as a “therapist’s therapist,” I offer a grounded, compassionate approach to help you reconnect with your sense of clarity and purpose. Life is too short not to live as your best self. My goal is to meet you where you are, focus on what matters most to you, and build on your strengths through healthy coping and healing practices. If you're ready to begin that journey, I invite you to reach out—let’s work together to help you become the best version of yourself.
I understand that therapy can feel like a vulnerable space. My goal is to create a process that feels supportive and approachable, from the moment you reach out to our time together in session. You can expect a calm, respectful environment where your experiences are met with empathy and care. I aim to provide clarity about what to expect, answer any questions you may have, and guide each session at a pace that feels right for you.
If you've never spoken to a therapist about personal matters and feel uneasy about the idea, but have made the brave decision to begin therapy, I strive to make the experience as calming and comfortable as possible. One of my strengths is creating a non-judgmental, compassionate space where you can feel safe and supported throughout our work together.
I bring over 20 years of experience supporting individuals navigating life’s most challenging stressors, and I am currently pursuing my Doctorate to further deepen my clinical expertise. Whether you're facing work-related pressures, marital, family, or relationship struggles, grief and loss, or more deeply rooted personal issues, I offer a compassionate and grounded approach. My goal is to help ease the burden you’re carrying and guide you toward greater clarity, resilience, and peace.
I have extensive experience using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and reframe negative thought patterns, and I integrate it into my practice by collaboratively setting goals, teaching coping skills, and using evidence-based techniques to promote lasting behavioral change.
I provide faith-based guidance with evidence-based strategies to set meaningful goals, strengthen coping skills, and encourage lasting personal growth.
I have experience using grief therapy to support individuals through the grieving process by creating a compassionate space to process loss, while integrating therapeutic techniques that promote emotional healing, resilience, and personal meaning.
I have experience using Solution-Focused Therapy to help individuals identify their strengths and envision practical, goal-oriented solutions, guiding them toward positive change by focusing on what works and building on existing resources. I have a unique ability to help process complex decisions and explore creative options/solutions. I do not tell the person what to do, instead we work together to develop for the individual to develop a well-thought out decision that the individual is comfortable with.

I am grateful to have come across Mrs Bruner-Settles, as she has made me feel extremely comfortable with unloading. Very graceful, very attentive, and observant.
