What Clients Should Know About Me
I’m calm, direct, and genuinely human. I take my work seriously, but I don’t take myself too seriously—and I don’t expect you to perform, impress, or hold it all together here.
I work best with people who are capable, thoughtful, and used to being the reliable one. If you’re efficient, responsible, and a little tired of being “the strong one,” you’re in the right place. I’ll meet you with steadiness, curiosity, and respect for your intelligence.
Sessions with me are structured not stiff, insightful without being overwhelming, and focused on helping you carry less alone and silent without losing what works. You can expect honesty, warmth, and the occasional gentle humor—because even high-functioning people deserve to breathe.
I help adults who are overwhelmed by grief, stress, or major life changes find direction and relief again.
Therapy with me is about taking pressure off your shoulders and replacing it with calm, clarity, and the support you deserve.
Dr. Brutus is a licensed mental health provider and Certified Mental Performance Consultant (CMPC) in the field of Sport and Performance Psychology who works at the intersection of mental health, sport, and leadership performance. She supports high-achievers—including athletes, professionals, and leaders—who are navigating pressure, identity, performance demands, and life transitions.
In addition to therapy services covered by insurance, Dr. Brutus also provides mental performance consulting leveraging her specialty training in sport psychology, which focuses on optimizing performance in sport, business, and leadership settings. This work is not covered by insurance and is typically more goal-oriented and performance-driven.
Dr. Brutus is known for her warm, direct, and empowering style. She creates a space where clients feel supported while also being challenged to grow. Whether clients are seeking mental health support, performance enhancement, or both, her goal is to help them build clarity, resilience, and confidence across all areas of life.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Mississippi and the state of Michigan.
I received my bachelor’s degree from the University of Mississippi (Hotty Toddy!) and my Master of Arts in Counseling from Reformed Theological Seminary. Before moving to Jackson, Miss. for graduate school, I worked with Cru (a campus ministry) for three years on the Ole Miss campus.
While living in Oxford, I also worked as the Administrative Assistant at Grace Bible Church of Oxford for two years.
Through receiving counseling in my own life, my desire grew to sit with and serve those experiencing darkness, hardship, or hurt in their own life. I want to utilize my life experience and education to walk alongside my clients as they uncover and develop their own internal resources.
