Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Brandon! I am a licensed therapist with over a decade of experience helping teens, young adults, and families navigate life's challenges. Throughout my career in schools, private practice, and community organizations, I have loved helping clients discover their strengths and build resilience. I hold a Master of Social Work from the University of Michigan and am currently completing my doctorate with a specific focus on sport social work.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is all about teamwork, building practical skills, and honoring exactly who you are. I believe you are the true expert on your own life, so my job is to provide a safe, welcoming space to help you navigate challenges. Together, we will balance accepting where you are right now with working toward the changes you want to see. Whether you are managing daily stress or looking to build mental resilience, we will focus on giving you real, everyday tools to help you feel your best.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is a laid-back, conversational space where we can get to know each other and make sure we are a great fit. I want to learn about the "whole you"—your interests, your daily life, and what specifically brings you to therapy right now. We will work together to outline some clear, achievable goals at a pace that feels completely comfortable for you. You can also expect to walk away from our very first meeting with at least one new insight or practical tool you can use immediately!
