More about Brent

I'm a therapist dedicated to supporting individuals through life's most challenging transitions and emotional struggles. With nearly a decade of clinical experience, I work with clients navigating depression, anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, and concerns around self-esteem and life changes.
My approach is grounded in compassion and respect for your values and worldview. I specialize in helping clients explore life purpose, work through forgiveness, process trauma and posttraumatic stress, and address mood-related concerns and impulsivity. I believe that healing happens when you feel truly heard and understood.
I'm honored to work with clients of all ages and backgrounds, and I'm particularly experienced in supporting older adults. My goal is to create a therapeutic space where you can bring your whole self—including your faith and beliefs—and feel genuinely supported as you move toward greater peace and resilience.
Starting therapy takes courage, and I'm grateful you're taking this important step.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
