You technically can keep doing it with a broken heart - but if that was working for you, I don’t think you’d be here.
But I’m glad you are – so let me *officially* introduce myself.
Adventure-prone therapist for people healing from generational trauma
As a therapist with a complicated history who helps people with their complicated histories, you could say I know this road well. I’ve walked it, studied it, and now, I help others navigate it – with less second-guessing and a lot more clarity.
Hi, I’m Brandi –
I currently live in Charlotte, NC after raised by Southerners in small-town Illinois (which explains my liberal use of “y’all and penchant for cooking from scratch).
I’m an enneagram 8w7, through and through – direct, driven, and always down to challenge the status quo.
When it comes to the gym – if there’s a challenge involved, I’m already lacing my sneakers.
I take my role in my recreational flag football league very seriously, trash talk and all – which is probably due to the fact that…
Unfortunately, I am that dog mom – and after a lifetime of swearing I wasn’t a “pet person,” Olivia proved me *incredibly* wrong.
Here’s the lightning round of what you need to know:
But let’s pause the technical, therapeutic stuff for a moment – you’re here for a vibe check, and I’m happy to give it to you.
I can help you:
Set boundaries in your relationships, giving you the structure and freedom you need to feel secure without feeling trapped.
Learn how to let people in at a pace that feels right for you – and manage your fears of being hurt, judged, or feeling like a burden.
Learn how to ask for help in a way that feels natural, not overwhelming – so you can build real support systems without guilt or second-guessing yourself.
And that starts with learning what true support feels like – so you can feel at home in your own life, and finally let people in without bracing for impact.
You’re not “too much” – but you have had to carry too much, and now? It’s time to safely set some of it down.
The Honest Therapy Core Values
Hard Work
Healing isn’t passive, and I don’t do half-measures. I’m here to help you dig in, do the work, and build the kind of life that feels good to live.
Clarity
Both in your life and in your sessions – so you can leave each one with more information, tools, and an actual plan.
Honesty, Of Course
I believe in telling it like it is – with warmth, humor, and zero judgment. Real progress starts with real conversations.
OR MAYBE EVEN PUTTING IT DOWN ALTOGETHER?
That baggage looks heavy; want some help carrying it?
If you’re looking for a therapist who actually gets what it’s like to navigate life when your family situation can only politely be described as “complicated,” you just found her.
Through creative and always honest therapy, I’ll help you untangle the past, set boundaries in your present, and build something better for your future – one session at a time.
