Brandon’s approach is holistic, taking into account each individual’s cultural background and lived experiences to address their mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. He believes in offering a safe and supportive space where clients feel seen, heard, and empowered to navigate their challenges and rediscover their sense of purpose and self-worth. 

EMDR & Mindfulness Therapy: A Path to Healing and Empowerment

I underwent EMDR therapy in 2015, and it changed my life. My experience was transformative, and it was part of what inspired me to get my degree in Mental Health Counseling. EMDR is highly effective for working through difficult memories, trauma, or any distressing experiences. One of its unique features is that you can share as much or as little about the event, memory, or situation as you feel comfortable, and it can still be incredibly effective and transformational. In my own journey, I initially shared very little and still found great success through the process.

My goal for our EMDR sessions is to create a supportive and empowering environment where you are in control. You decide what we discuss, how deeply we delve into a subject, and how much you share. There are various ways to approach EMDR, and together, we will find the method that is most comfortable for you. Whether you are dealing with significant trauma or everyday distress, EMDR & mindfulness-based therapies provides a safe space to process, gain perspective, and move toward the peace and healing you deserve.

Guiding Couples Towards Deeper Connection

In his work with couples, Brandon fosters a nurturing environment where partners can openly explore their relationship dynamics, tackle challenges, and strengthen their bond. Leveraging his expertise in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR & mindfulness-based therapies, Brandon assists couples in uncovering underlying issues, enhancing communication skills, and gaining a deeper understanding of each other’s perspectives and needs. Whether couples are navigating conflicts, seeking to reignite intimacy, or simply aiming to fortify their connection, Brandon approaches each session with a blend of collaboration and compassion. By helping couples to discover their strengths and navigate their challenges within a safe and accepting space, he aims to facilitate profound growth and transformation within their relationships.

Children and Teens

Being a former high school English teacher, Brandon has years of experience working with adolescents. Most impressively, he is certified in the Unified Transdiagnostic Protocol for the Treatment of Anxiety, Mood, and Emotional Disorders in Children and Adolescents, having studied under its creator, Dr. Jill Ehrenreich-May. Through his work at the University of Miami, for which he won an award for his work with his clients and students, he gained extensive experience working with teens, adolescents, and parents on both improving their mental health and providing parenting skills, insights, and techniques to promote sustained therapeutic outcomes.

Personal Philosophy and Approach

Brandon’s journey into therapy began during his time as a high school English teacher. He realized his true passion lay in helping others heal from their past and move towards an empowered lifestyle. His own experiences with mental health guided him to pursue a career where he could support others in finding their inner strength. Brandon is passionate about helping others find and follow their passions and rediscovering their sense of purpose, self-worth, and peace.

What Brandon loves most about being a therapist is holding space for those in need, offering different perspectives, and providing daily-use skills and support throughout their journey.
