Hi, I'm Brandy, and I want to thank you for taking the time to invest in you. For making you and/or your family health a priority. You may or may not know exactly what you're looking for, but you're on the right track. Something innate led you to this spot in life, and I'd love for you to go with it. 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'm confident I can help. Let's see.

My path to becoming a therapist was more of a calling than a career decision. I’m not particularly suited to this profession. I’m introverted, which causes me to present as somewhat unfriendly and aloof to strangers. I’m really not concerned with small talk or what I consider the superficialities of life. But when it comes to exploring the deepest, most difficult and painful core aspects of your life that’s the space where I feel most comfortable. The foundation of my practice is my own personal journey in 12-step recovery. I would say I was "chosen" for the gift of recovery from a self-destructive lifestyle more than 34 years ago.

I have been blessed with the heart for serving others. For the past 15 years, I have worked in various roles with children of all ages.

For the last 8 years, I have worked as a Registered Behavior Therapist providing applied behavior analysis (ABA therapy) to children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder.
