LCSW, 7 years of experience
Hi there! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I received my Master's in Social Work at California State University, Los Angeles. I have 7+ years of experience in this field and I am passionate about helping others. My approach is to partner with you and to support you on your road to healing using evidence-based approaches guided by a trusting and supportive connection. All you need is a willingness to begin, and the rest will follow. You have made the first step!
On our first session, we will begin our journey to developing a trusting partnership where we discuss your needs and what you would like to see improve in your life within the next couple of weeks or months. You can expect a calm and comforting environment where you can be yourself with acceptance and no judgments.
Through my years of experience, I have been able to work with clients to identify the root cause of their thoughts or behaviors and work with them to address and promote healing. I strive to create a safe place where my clients are seen, heard, and valued.
I have experience in working with those who are struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma, attachment issues, and grief and loss. I also work with those who are struggling with fostering deep connections with others. I am also here to support you through any difficult life changes or life transitions. Whether you would like to improve your mood, emotions, or thoughts, I am here to help you. You are not alone.
We work through thoughts and behaviors by tackling the root of those thoughts and behaviors.
We will practice being in tune with ourselves and approaching any behaviors or emotions that may rise with that.
We will focus on collaborating to develop solutions to issues that arise.
Assist in promoting well being while honoring the different emotions and behaviors that arise through the grief process. Grieving is essential to any loss and I provide a safe place to express those challenging emotions and feelings.
I use IFS in my practice to guide parts and self in healing emotional wounds and trauma.

I have had two sessions with Brenda and I really feel I can be my authentic self with her. She is very welcoming and patient. I really love how she interacts with me on my issues. I feel as if I have found a therapist who is invested in my healing journey.
