LICSW, 10 years of experience
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.
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.
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.
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.
I am a United States Veteran who has experienced many deployments, making me highly attuned to the stressors of Military and Veteran life. I specialize in treating individuals who are struggling with the effects of past physical, emotional, or combat-related trauma. I am an EMDRIA trained Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapist who focuses on creating a nonjudgmental and supportive environment.

It’s been a year since I started working with Brandy, and I’m truly amazed at how far I’ve come. She’s smart, skilled, and not afraid to challenge me when I need it. Brandy isn’t the type of therapist who’ll just chat about your day or tell you what you want to hear. She gives honest, objective feedback and asks questions that really make me think about my habits, thoughts, and patterns. That’s helped me become more mindful and more in control of my life. I’m deeply grateful for her support!

Our discussions are beneficial and I feel that she knows me and my issues, backstory, and triggers well, so we can deal with those head on.

Brandy has been able to support me through difficult times in my life and given me the accountability I need to make changes to better myself. She has provided me with great insight, research, and information that has allowed me to better understand my patterns and how to work on changing the ones that do not serve me.
