Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or caught in unhelpful patterns of thinking? You don’t have to figure it out on your own. I work with adults who want to feel more balanced, confident, and in control of their lives, but aren’t sure where to start. Together, we’ll explore the thoughts, emotions, and experiences that are getting in your way and gently build new ways of coping so you can move toward the life you want with more ease and self-compassion.

Therapist

Virtual • Richmond, VA


Hey! I'm Brendan (he/they), a licensed professional counselor, living and working in Richmond, Virginia. I will be offering in person appointments starting in August. My goal, in every session, is to help you reach a point of empowerment and acceptance with yourself through compassionate and playful work together. You are the expert on you, I will follow and walk along this path with you. I want to help you better understand yourself and how you wish to be. Through understanding there is compassion, through compassion there is liberation. Tsi-Ya (ᏥᏯ) means "otter" in the Cherokee Language. In life we may feel our emotions and stress in such profound ways we struggle to tread water and may find ourselves drowning and overwhelmed. Like otters, we must learn to float.
