Brandie's counseling approach focuses on building a strong therapeutic alliance and meeting her clients where they are in their journey toward their goals. She understands that seeking therapy can be intimidating, sometimes scary, and she strives to create a comfortable and trusting environment with her clients. She believes in focusing on her clients' strengths to change negative thought patterns, overcome life's obstacles, and find healing solutions. Brandie believes the client is the expert on their own life, so she provides a safe, non-judgmental, and compassionate space for the client to feel seen and supported throughout their healing journey. She is LGBTQIA+ affirming, providing care to all identities and backgrounds. 

Brandie utilizes evidence-based practices, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy.
