Brenda is a therapist, speaker, coach, and author working with survivors of narcissistic abuse for the past 16 years. Our goal is to help survivors, heal, reclaim their lives, and learn how to avoid toxic relationships.

My clients tell me they feel “heard”, listened to without being judged, and that I “get them.” My passion is helping people struggling with Narcissistic Abuse recovery, using my specialized training and experience to assist you in surviving the shattering pain and complicated trauma caused by these Toxic relationships. You can recover and get your life back, even if unable to end the relationship with the abusive Narcissist (whether romantic partner, family member, co-parent, employer, etc.)

I am deeply committed to providing empathy, compassion, and unwavering support, and I find fulfillment in seeing my clients grow and succeed. I believe that we all face struggles in life, and the first step to healing is reaching out for help. As Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase.”

Dana has extensive experience working with anxiety, depression, survivors of narcissistic abuse, trauma, ADHD, OCD, Schizophrenia, and Bipolar. She wholeheartedly believes that the most significant indicator of successful therapy is a kind, respectful, and nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship. Her knowledgeable, patient, and compassionate approach incorporates humor, strength-based practice, CBT, DBT, talk therapy, mindfulness, ACT, task-oriented therapy, and solution-focused practice.

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and BCBA. I have 12 years of experience facilitating support to Children, Adolescents, Individuals, and Families as they work towards overcoming their mental health/behavioral challenges. These challenges have included Anxiety/Panic, Depression, Issues with Self-Esteem/ Healthy Boundaries, Family Conflict, PTSD, Childhood Trauma, Insecure Attachment Styles, Parenting, Co-Dependency, and difficulties managing ADHD/ASD.

What would it look like if you woke up tomorrow and your life was perfect? What would it take to make it a reality? Would you be less depressed, less anxious, and less overwhelmed? I believe in utilizing strength-based therapy, integrating DBT, CBT, and processing to guide your mental health recovery journey.

Life can be stressful and full of challenges. As a therapist, I believe in helping you find solutions to the problems you might be facing to make life more enjoyable. I provide a safe and welcoming place to work collaboratively to achieve your desired goals. Whether you are trying to find new coping skills to help alleviate your problems, find ways to better communicate within relationships, or recognize the negative behavior patterns within yourself or a relationship, I work directly with clients to fulfill their needs.

To the world, you may be one person, but to one person, you may be the world”(Author unknown). When facing daily challenges in our lives, it can be difficult to see that we are loved, have a positive mindset, be grateful, feel good about ourselves, smile, or have the motivation to do things that can negatively impact our daily functioning and relationships with others. I hope that through therapy, you will learn how to overcome these obstacles to become the best version of yourself and realize how important you are in this world.
