About
Brenda
I provide a supportive and relaxed atmosphere where the individual and I can get to know each other. I am accepting of where each person is currently at in their journey and take a collaborative approach to find the best outcome for each person. My therapy approach is very eclectic, it is modified to each specific individual I share space with in the therapy session. I look forward to helping each person create and maintain a better and more meaningful life for themselves.
I enjoy being outdoors, camping, hiking, fishing, and being at the beach with my dog. I am a big foodie and enjoy farm to table style cooking, grilling and baking. I have a great sense of humor and find contentment and peace in the outdoors, and this is where I connect with my spirituality.
