About My Clients
Have you felt lost? Have you felt like you’re straddling the lines of two different worlds? Have you felt like you don’t belong here or the country of origin of your family? Trying to find your footing in a world that sends you meta messages that you don’t belong here or there (Ni de aqui, ni de alla”) can be difficult and heartbreaking. I would love the opportunity to walk alongside you, accepting and reminding you that you belong, you’re enough, and you’re not selfish for tending to you.
My Background and Approach
Brenda’s therapeutic style is one of meeting the client where they are while keeping it 100 with a great deal of empathy, compassion, kindness, and warmth. This approach supports clients to be in alignment with their heart, mind, body, and soul. Brenda’s style is a no bullshit, solution focused, warm and empathic style with some light banter. When a client first comes in they feel seen and that there is a place for them to share what brought them in without judgment. Brenda is dedicated to providing a relationship that is a safe haven-where their heart will be protected. Brenda uses a variety of evidenced based approaches to assist with decreasing current symptoms and regaining control over one's life.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that looking at a person as a whole and accepting them where they are influences their desire and motivation to journey forward. Clients will transform their world by stepping into it daily with an open heart, mind, body, and soul. I believe the heart is at the center of building healthy relationships via interconnectedness, communication, understanding, acceptance, and vulnerability. The heart is where all life begins and flourishes. I believe that via support from community, friends, and family each person can create the life they dream of. I am passionate about being anti-racist, attending marches that support BIPOC and Latinx communities, and reading voraciously to continue to unlearn what was learned through a limited education system.Outside of providing therapy, I enjoy dancing the night away, traveling the world and exploring other cultures, losing myself in a good book, sweating it out at Orange Theory, getting energized by organization and drinking coffee.
