I reached out to Brandon while navigating a toxic work environment, and he was an incredible resource. He shared thoughtful anecdotes, found ways to pull me out of my funk, and even made me smile during tough moments. Brandon is truly genuine, offering solutions that challenge you while keeping you grounded. I’m deeply appreciative of his support and continue to meet with him as I move through my career transition.

Brandon created a comfortable and supportive environment that made me feel safe to be vulnerable. I was able to trust him with things I rarely share with strangers. After leaving our first session, I felt optimistic about getting my life in order.

Brandon is very helpful and brings to light your feelings and emotions. He is honest and empowering. He has put me at ease. I’ve never had to reach out for therapy and he made the whole process easy.
