Hi I'm Brandy

My practice is rooted in the belief that there is power in knowing and telling your own story. Who are you? Where did you come from? What's important to you? Let's work together to untangle your story, identify your strengths, goals, passions, and barriers; and make you the author of what comes next. I work with people who want to make positive changes, but feel paralyzed by stress, fear, indecision, or old habits.

“Brandy helped me dive in and understand myself on a deeper level. I was able to really understand what brings me joy and take the next step to start a career I love.”
