Hi my name is Brenda. I have worked in the social work field for the past 10 years and specialize in working with individuals, children, and families, in multiple settings such as in community based mental health agencies and community clinics. I have worked hand in hand with those struggling with depression, anxiety, and interpersonal struggles. We are currently living in very unprecedented times in which old patterns of behaviors are no longer suting us and it is time to take more accountability and control of our lives. Taking the first step towards making a positive change can sometimes be the most painful yet liberating thing a person can do. I am here to provide support and positive coping skills during these challenging times.
My therapeutic style is to build a therapeutic alliance in a curious and compassionate matter. I try my best to create a safe space where each person can feel comfortable to openly talk about how they feel.
My approach is very client centered and mainly comes from a humanistic and strength based approach. However, I understand that each individual requires different needs in order to feel empowered in their own unique way and so my approach changes to fit everyone's unique perspective.
I work along my clients in order for them to see their strengths and abilities in order them to make necessary changes.
