I am Brandy, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW/LCSW) offering compassionate and specialized psychotherapy services to adults in California, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. I am also a U.S. military Veteran with multiple deployments, and my lived experience deeply informs the care I provide. My own healing journey, combined with my service background and professional training, has shaped an integrative, trauma-informed approach to therapy that honors the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit. I am an EMDRIA-trained EMDR therapist and offer evidence-based trauma treatment to help clients process and heal from painful life experiences. I specialize in supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, and the emotional impact of serious health diagnoses. Whether you're coping with the aftermath of trauma or facing a new chapter in life, I offer a collaborative, supportive space focused on strengthening your resilience, restoring your sense of self, and promoting lasting emotional well-being.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Whether you're dealing with overwhelm, relationship issues or cycles of anxiety and depression, I'm here to help. Seeking therapy can feel scary but you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can navigate and overcome and habits that have been holding you back from greater peace.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My primary goal is to assist you in understanding that sustainable, long-term change is not only achievable but also maintainable through intentional and consistent efforts. Developing the skill to recognize triggers for negative thoughts and beliefs empowers you to reclaim control over your life and imbue it with fresh meaning.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Clients who benefit most from my style are those who are motivated to work towards change and who are open to the process of therapy.
