My name is Brenda, and I work to create a safe, supportive space where people feel understood, build confidence, and develop skills for resilience. I believe therapy should feel like a team effort. I help children, teens, and adults explore what’s really going on beneath the surface and support them in finding practical, meaningful steps toward healing, growth, and self-discovery. I love helping people build resilience, gain clarity, and connect with their authentic selves. Outside the therapy room, I am a former collegiate athlete from the University of Illinois and still love staying active—whether it’s being in nature, reading, playing sports, or spending quality time with loved ones. These passions shape my holistic approach to therapy, highlighting the value of balance and connection.
