Hi, I’m Brenna!
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Texas and see teens and adults in Waxahachie, whether that’s at the office, doing a walk and talk session at a local park, or virtually anywhere in the state. We may be a good fit if you want someone who can challenge you, add humor into session (when appropriate, of course!), and hold space for the big feelings that life inevitably throws at us. Regardless of why you’re here, I hope you know I consider it an honor to work with people the way that I get to, and would love to work together. Reaching out is the hardest part, and you’re half way there just by being here.

Tired of Googling, “How to stop anxiety?” and being told to take a bubble bath, get more friends, or meditate for 3 hours a day?
Anxiety can feel very defeating and like you’ll never be able to get through it. I seek to help you find coping skills that actually work for YOU! We will talk about your history with anxiety, how it shows up for you, and try different things until we find what works. I also work closely with psychiatrists and have seen great success utilizing medication WHEN NEEDED for clients. Don’t want meds? Totally cool! We’ll figure it out together.

We all have one big beautiful life, and not knowing who we are makes it really hard to enjoy it. I love working with people who are trying to figure out what they like, dislike, and who they want to be. You’re not “too old,” “too far gone,” and you don’t have to be stuck!

I walked through many years of infertility and had to have multiple rounds of fertility treatment before conceiving my son. I had awful experiences with therapists who did not understand the journey (one asked me, “Have you tried not thinking about it?”). After that happened, I knew I one day wanted to help those walking through the same grief that comes in the waiting and the hoping. Infertility and TTC feels lonely, but it doesn’t have to be.

Do you feel like you can’t even communicate to yourself how you’re feeling so you definitely can’t communicate to someone else? Or feel like everything just feels like too much?
We will work, first, on figuring out how to understand and communicate emotions internally, before starting to learn how to communicate outwardly to those around us. I tell my clients often that language is power, and we need to know the language of emotions in order to be able to communicate and understand it better.

Have you been told most (if not all) of your life that you are “too sensitive,” or you “Wear your heart on your sleeve?” Being a highly sensitive person (HSP) is a real thing! We’re feelers! Our emotions lead us, but they don’t have to rule us. We will figure out ways to honor your sensitivity without being ruled by it.

I work with many different people working on many different goals. Above are just a few examples. If you don’t see what you’re looking for, please still reach out, this list is not exhaustive! If I feel unable to work with you, I will do my best to help you find someone who can.
