“I leverage my diverse experiences prior to becoming a therapist to create a healing space to happen for my clients.”

Brandon has experience working with diverse populations and knows that we are all uniquely made and all of us will face challenges chosen for us and challenges we find on our own. This influences his approach to be flexible.

Brandon has experience working in community mental health and private practice. In these environments Brandon has treated adults, young adults, teens, and couples facing a myriad of issues ranging from relationship problems, trouble at school, depression, and self-worth issues. Brandon also has experience providing crisis counseling, court mandated therapy, and evaluations for the Illinois Department of Corrections, Division of Parole.

Brandon is also an author. He is in the process of writing a biblically informed self-help book based on his diverse life experiences and lessons learned from those. When Brandon is not providing therapy, you will oftentimes find him engaged in reading or writing with a cup of coffee close by.
