About Brenda

I care deeply about you, your health, your relationships, and your purpose.

My hope in counseling with you is that you will be encouraged, strengthened, and renewed in your self, in your relationships, and in your work. You are worthy and deserving of living a healthy life.

Being with you and hearing your story is a privilege. Counseling takes humility and courage, traits I admire. You’ll have real care and respect as we work together to achieve your wellness goals.

I support and counsel people from all walks of life. My clients most often include business professionals, service providers, ministry leaders, first responders and military personnel.

I also serve older adolescents. I care deeply about supporting the next generation who may struggle with anxiety, depression, self-harm, suicidal ideation, or major transitions in our complex society.

About my experience

My service as a behavioral health counselor, therapist, and consultant comes after 20 years of leadership coaching, business management, non-profit residential program design, pastoral care and chaplaincy, national and international disaster relief, and emergency medical work.

My clinical counseling experience includes service in an integrated health clinic with medical staff, private practice work, and agency consultation. I hold a Colorado LPCC license and NCC national counselor certification, holding to the highest national ethical and legal standards for the counseling profession.

About my approach

We’ll take a personalized approach based on your unique health needs and preferences.

We’ll use scientific, evidence-based modalities to assure that you are receiving the highest standard of care. Together, we’ll consider your starting point, envision your ending point, plot a course, and mark our progress. We’ll provide feedback to one another along the way to be sure we’re navigating successfully. We’ll work hard, share insights, practice skills, and in the end, see great results.

And we’ll celebrate your renewal, personal growth, and victories each step of the way.
