About Brenda
She works from respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Sessions are shaped around what a person needs most, whether that means learning new coping skills, addressing patterns in relationships, or managing strong emotions. Brenda uses a mix of approaches to match goals and preferences rather than a one-size-fits-all method.
Over nearly three decades of practice Brenda has supported people through addiction and trauma recovery, and helped clients improve communication and resolve family-related stress. She also addresses issues such as attachment concerns, anger and control problems, hoarding, and guilt or shame. Her experience includes work with veterans and aging-related concerns.
In sessions she emphasizes clear, real tools that can be used between meetings. Conversations often include exploring values, changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and building emotion regulation skills. Brenda invites clients to set small, achievable goals and checks in on progress at each visit.
Brenda is licensed as an LCSW in Arizona and Oregon and practices in Ohio. She speaks English. To start, readers are encouraged to complete the site's intake steps and schedule a session based on availability.
