“I felt as if a huge weight was lifted off of me. I felt seen, understood all while being held accountable. I didn’t want someone who just listened and agreed with me I wanted someone to challenge my way of thinking to ensure I can be on the right path towards change. I cannot wait to continue this process with Braynelly and continue my journey resolution.”

What should a new client know about working with you?
I also have a strong focus on helping clients reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, while building emotional resilience and confidence. My practice includes working with individuals, families, and couples—including non-traditional partnerships and non-monogamous relationships—as well as members of the LGBTQIA+ community.
In session, I offer a warm, empathetic presence and a collaborative, non-judgmental style. My goal is to help you feel empowered, understood, and equipped with the tools to move forward. Whether you’re seeking support through a difficult time or working toward long-term personal growth, I’m here to support you every step of the way.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
In the first session I will complete an intake assessment to gather as much information to better assess and get to know you, your history, and what concerns have brought you to therapy and therefore set up goals. The following sessions, we will engage in talk therapy while pulling from various modalities to help you achieve your goals. Our sessions are 45 min in length on a weekly basis.
Please allow 15 minutes before the session to do the intake paperwork.
I PROVIDE PSYCHOTHERAPY SERVICES ONLY; PLEASE NOTE I DON’T PROVIDE MEDICATION MANAGEMENT SERVICES.

This was my first time in any official therapy setting . I’m a stay home mom and the convince of being able to hop on a call with a counselor was amazing. I felt like I was finally being hurd. I wish I had this tool sooner.
