Hello, thank you for taking the time to view my profile! I appreciate the opportunity to get to know you! I have a passion for supporting and helping others and I want to let you know I honor your decision to seek help. I know this can be a scary experience but I want you to know that I will support you 100 percent. I believe the strongest people in the world are those brave enough to ask for help when they need it.

I received my masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Phoenix in 2012. The previous 10 years were spent in Law Enforcement. The modalities I use most are cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT). I utilize interventions from all schools of therapy depending on client need. Mindfulness, meditation, emotional freedom techniques, deep breathing and cognitive reframing are some of the tools I use to help my clients. I have a passion for working with people to discover their own personal spiritual path. I have experience working with individuals with anxiety, depression, PTSD, grief and loss and first responder resiliency. Again, I would like to thank you for reviewing my profile. I look forward to working with you.

If you like you can o to my scheduling page and book a session. they are in 30 minute increments.

About online counseling

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Reviewed November 2022

When I started seeing Brandon in March of 2021 I felt like my life was in complete chaos. One of my kids has severe depression. She battles with suicidal ideations and has made several attempts on her life throughout the year. That, mixed with the stress from my job, and other stresses in life was almost unbearable for me to deal with. I felt like I should be a strong enough person to deal with everything and that I was failing at being a mother and a person in general. What I didn't realize is how many traumatic things I was dealing with at once that were not in my control, or how many stressful things I was dealing with at once, and that maybe it was time to pull the breaks on some stuff-- and Brandon helped me realize these things, and helped me process these situations. I had sessions with Brandon for 7 months. During that time, the help he provided enabled me to face the stressors, anxiety, and flood of emotions that I was experiencing in life. As a result, I feel like I have healthier and more realistic takes on life. Brandon took the time to really hear my problems and stressful situations, and give meaningful feedback, techniques, and resources to cope with my life struggles (tapping, mental pauses, primary/secondary fear responses, grief stages, link to a comprehensive website dedicated to helpful links and info). My life has fortunately smoothed out now, but I know if I ever am in a stressful spot again, there are tools and techniques to help me, aside from what I have already learned. I fully recommend trying Brandon as your talk therapist. I am forever grateful to him for helping me get back to a good place mentally. He is professional but very down to earth, and I felt like I could tell him anything and he would be helpful and supportive. Thank you so much, Brandon!

Brandon has opened my eyes in a way I wouldn't have thought to look at life. After being medicated for severe depression and anxiety for years, I thought I would just feel the way I do forever, that it was normal. Now I've learned to embrace my feelings as a learning experience, and that it's okay to feel the emotions as they come, and not be ashamed or feel guilty. It has given a more positive outlook on life, because I now know that these shall pass, and I will be okay. I just need to hold on. I highly recommend Brandon, he is caring, doesn't judge, and I feel so comfortable telling him anything. Don't hesitate to improve your life.
