Hi, I'm Brandi and I'm excited to help individuals and couples improve communication and understanding in their relationships. Our potential to be well, cope with stress, be ourselves, and connect with others are continually linked and impacted by our relationships. Relationships are so important that they require consistent attention and effort for success. As a practical person and therapist, I offer strength-based brief therapy to give your relationships that attention to create change and increase that potential to be well. I've supported individuals, couples, and families from various walks of life and backgrounds for over 12 years from working with family crises as case management to professional counseling. Are you wanting a better relationship with yourself or to manage stress better? Are you tired of going in circles and ready to have more understanding in your relationships? Then let's get to work!
In our first sessions, we will discuss your general information and your goals, and we'll collaborate on how the frame our work to make the best to use of our 50 minutes each time. Basically, we will try to get more familiar and check to see if you feel we are a good fit for therapy.
I have had the privilege of serving many populations of people such as tutoring women of all ages to obtain GEDs, teaching life skills to individuals and families, case management for families moving through homelessness, and counseling folks through their struggles. My greatest strengths are my openness to learn and connect with all people, my sense of humor, and endless optimism. I am suspicious that the first two strengths feed the third one.
The creative and practical application of solution focused brief therapy (SBFT) honors the client by shifting the lens to client's goals, strengths, cultural values, and extensive experiences. SBFT has been my foundational orientation from the start, and it's given me the privileges of connection and efficiency in helping clients create change.
