Introduction

Hi, I’m Brendette — a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional with a background spanning crisis care, residential treatment, outpatient therapy, and forensic psychiatric settings. Those experiences taught me that healing rarely happens in a straight line, and that the therapeutic relationship itself is one of the most powerful tools we have. I specialize in working with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, and personality disorders — particularly those who present as high-functioning but are quietly carrying a heavy load. I use evidence-based approaches, including CBT and trauma-focused interventions, tailored to where you are right now. My goal is simple: to offer you a space where you don’t have to perform or hold it together. If you’re processing a painful loss, breaking old patterns, or just trying to understand yourself better, therapy with me is a collaborative, honest, and judgment-free experience. All sessions are held virtually, so meaningful support is available wherever life finds you.
