Brandy started working in social work in 2006. She worked mostly with youth ages 5-18 in foster care and group home settings. As a behavioral specialist in group homes, she taught youth social skills and helped them with their academics, hygiene and independent living skills. She worked in group homes while putting herself through school. After completing her education, she was then was hired on with the same company as a therapist. “I was able to go back and help the same populations of youth but on a different level. It was amazing!”

“Why am I a therapist? I feel like it found me. Helping people was always something that made me happy and brought joy to my life. When I was trying to find my way in college, one of my professors dared me to volunteer, and that’s when I found social work. It just clicked. I felt like it was what I was supposed to be doing. It became ‘home’ for me,” she says.

Brandy has extensive experience working with clients who have experienced trauma. “I’ve worked with refugee populations with PTSD and young kids who were abused. I’ve taught anger management, sex education, and everything in between.”

Brandy is married, going on 12 years. She says, “It took so long to find my other half, but it was worth the wait.” Brandy and her husband have 2 beautiful children. They spend as much time in the outdoors as possible.
