New to Grow
Hi, I am Brandy, and I want to thank you for taking the time to invest in you, your family, and making your mental health a priority. Following your unique path sometimes means sharing the burden and asking for a little help. I'm already proud of you for taking this first step. Whatever your needs are, I am confident I can help. I have practiced over 15 years in the field helping people from ages 4 to end of life, ranging in many interpersonal and social issues we face in our society. I'm pretty eclectic in my practice addressing each situation with unique care tailoring my practice to your personal needs. I have a holistic approach hoping to help you find balance in all areas of life so you may find peace along your path. I love working with Dialectical Behavioral Therapy which has been proven to work with a large range of diagnosis to promote mindfulness, validation, communication skills, emotional regulation and distress tolerance.
I understand that seeking help may be scary, new and/or risky for some, but the benefits of having a safe place to talk out issues and learn healthy skills far outweigh the "what ifs". I hope to provide a safe place for you to allow vulnerability and peace to flow. Your safety, privacy and confidentiality are my priorities. So, let's walk that path together. I look forward to meeting with you. Peace be with you.
I meet my clients right where they are at this very moment, so I will meet you however you need... just a place to talk about your concerns, I will listen; needing challenges, prompts, homework, I got you covered with a library of resources; a safe space to laugh, cry and be angry, I will get there with you; in need of reassurance, encouragement and validation, I am a great cheerleader and will even help you create your very own personalized affirmations.
With a vast history of working with many different diagnoses and ages from 4 to end of life, ranging with concerns from following rules to suicidal ideation, to planning for the future, interpersonal conflict, trauma, relational issues, and life coaching, I invite anyone who feels drawn to grow and a desire to live your best life. I bet I can help you with that.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I utilize and provide a couple of workbooks put together to help us cover all the content together including: Core Mindfulness, Interpersonal Effectiveness, Emotions Regulation, and Distress Tolerance. You are not alone on this journey and I will walk you through every step.
Couples Counseling
I use an unconventional approach with meeting together, individually, and keeping it all confidential. I find this approach to be helpful to air out anything that is left unsaid due to fear, hurt, and secrecy. My goal is not to "fix" you, but for you to determine if the match is what is best for you and your future best self.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
If you just need to walk through current issues with no desire to get deep, then I can help with the mindset to help you find your own solutions to any problems that you may find in life.
Strength-Based
I lean hard on finding strengths when feeling weak. Every small step is a step towards progress and growth and I will make sure you know this.
Trauma Informed Care
I am certified in Trust Based Relational Interventions which is heavily trauma informed, and I take trauma very seriously. This is a safe place to work through trauma if this is your first time sharing or if you are sharing for the 100th time, I will approach this with care and compassion. No amount of trauma is insignificant.
