Brenna is a great therapist. Listens to hear and helps to move me towards a solution that I’ve participated in. I don’t feel talked at.

Brenna is an incredible therapist and has made a huge impact on my journey in recovery from addiction and aggression. She has helped me sort through the stressful and chaotic times I've been experiencing as of late. And I have more hope and a more positive outlook regarding my future because of her. Her compassion, empathy, intuitiveness and calm and cool demeanor is unlike most humans I have ever met. Her therapeutic advice and her willingness to shoot you straight with honesty, and sometimes even a little hard truth, is exactly what I needed, and helped me put things in perspective time and time again. Thanks for everything, Brenna.
